Introduction[edit]
A very nice canyon in Arizona - short but intense. Sometimes done with Bear Canyon.
Approach[edit]
Take the FR144 to Point Trail TH.
Descent[edit]
A series of rappels under 100' will bring you to the final rappel of 180'.
Under normal conditions some of the drops can be slid, jumped, or downclimbed. Expect multiple cold swims.
Exit[edit]
A short walk to point trail and back up to your vehicle.
