Introduction
Short but scenic canyon with Hot Springs at the end of the descent. Exit requires packraft or climbing back up the ropes.
- Please, remember that installation of permanent fixed hardware is prohibited in LMNRA. No new bolts.
Approach
Descent
Exit
If you are packrafting you can exit at Lone Palm canyon (1.6mi short or 2.65mi long route), but it's more fun to packraft down the Colorado river for 3 miles to Arizona Hot Springs, stop at the hot springs to warm up and then exit back to the highway through the 2.6mi access trail there.
