Approach[edit]

Start at Bangs Canyon trailhead parking area. Hike about 2 miles on Tabeguache Trail to southeast trailhead for Rough Canyon. Hike up Rough Canyon trail about 1/4 mile above falls. Leave trail and head south up hill. Canyon is on right or west. Continue up hill. Head west and down into drainage and start of canyon.

Enter canyon: 38.96950,-108.60399

Descent[edit]

Head down canyon. A few fun downclimbs. First and only rappel 38 feet off of juniper tree at head. Continue down canyon to start of slot section. Downclimb tight slot down to canyon bottom.

R1: 38 feet. Anchor off of juniper tree. 38.97274,-108.60326
