Introduction[edit]
A previously established and unpublished mini canyon in Oak Creek Canyon. A great addition to the mini canyon circuit. Boulder hopping, downclimbs, and short rappels will land you close to the creek.
Approach[edit]
Harding Springs Trail to the drop in.
Descent[edit]
4-5 rappels under 50'.
Exit[edit]
Use extra caution if you walk the road back to parking at cave springs. Crossing the road and following the creek or trails on the other side is a nice ending to a short adventure.
