Introduction
A long and extremely physically demanding canyon that descends over 3000 feet through the beautiful Santa Catalina Mountains.
Most will find the route more worthwhile as an overnight. However, a fast moving group capable of enduring a healthy amount of suffering can complete the canyon in a single day and with an early enough start could even catch the Sabino Canyon shuttle.
