Introduction

Just don't.

Apparently the Left Fork of May Canyon is okay. The middle isn't. It starts off mediocre, becomes disappointing, and then it gets truly awful.

Approach

Up a road

Descent

There's a car, some down climbs, a boring 2 stage rappel, terrible bushwhacking, a ~60-70 foot drop that might be kind of neat if it wasn't covered in brush, then more bushwhacking!

Exit

On some roads.

Red tape

There's some no trespassing signs down at the bottom that suggest you could be fined $1000 for being in the area you're already in.
