Introduction[edit]
The ancient Puebloan granary at the top just after the first rappel is amazing. Be sure not to miss it. The other granary is at the bottom of the final rappel by the river. The full route is highly recommended. The views of the river and Behind The Rocks Wilderness Area are sublime and are missed if you only do the top section.
