Introduction[edit]

This is a good but short canyon located near the coast.

Approach[edit]

Descent[edit]

Exit[edit]

There is an alternate exit not described in the beta: from Kofi's Chasm, go downstream until the next swimming hole and you'll see a trail going up on your left. It will take you to the road on the east side of the rattlesnake creek bridge.

Red tape[edit]

The road to get there, M1, is closed. Check latest conditions at https://www.fs.usda.gov/alerts/mendocino/alerts-notices

Alternate directions, supposed to require high clearance:

  • take 101 to 162 thru covelo
  • at crossroads at beginning of forest (eel river workstation), go forward on 162 thru forest but its name changes to fh7
  • travel about 12 mi to crossroads. take hairpin left onto M4
  • about 5 mi left again M2
  • left again M21
  • will empty into M1

Beta sites[edit]

  • Beta was originally posted on sierracanyons.org (now defunct), Open PDF
