Introduction[edit]

Wilbur Creek is a heavy flow canyon that should be linked with Ptarmigan Creek for a full day. Rappelling in the flow is NOT advised. Great care and spotting should be done before doing the entry rappel into the slot. Details will be posted on Canyoningthe406.com by the end of December 2024. This, page will then be updated.
