Introduction

Big valley, but not a great canyon. Way too flat, only 2 rappels.

Approach

From the shuttle parking walk down the closed road for a few meters, and then the steep slope of the valley.

Descent

First part is made of 2 rappels. Second part is the deepest section of the canyon, but no waterfall. Third part is nothing special. Fourth part is thinking why you even went there.

Exit

Use the old road to get back to the car, which nicely awaits you in the sun.

Background

Water capture above the canyon.
