Background
The correct name is Jan's canyon (possibly named for Jan Mohandas?).
The canyon was added to Rick Jamieson's 5th edition guidebook with a grid reference. A number of wilderness canyons were added to this edition, presumably after a sketch map was shared with the author, and presumably that was a piece of paper that had been photo-copied several times and was difficult to read. Rick Jamieson must have interpreted the word as Ian's rather than Jan's.
The Dave Noble sketch map describes the canyon as "bad".
