Introduction[edit]
A through-trip of Wet Beaver Creek, starting from the head of Waldroup Canyon and ending at Bell TH.
Non-technical but slow going, less than 1 mph in many sections because of wading and swimming.
Roughly 20 swims, longest is probably close to 100 yards. Some can be bypassed by high scrambles but many can not.
Can be done in a loop using the Apache Maid trail, but also a car shuttle to the top is easy and nice.
