Introduction[edit]

It takes the canyon a while to feel like a canyon because of rubble in the top of the drainage, but later it has beautifully polished swirly rocks. There are numerous down-climbs. Of the four forks of Typhon, this one has the least steep grade to drop into the canyon. This fork has a small natural bridge.
