There is insufficient beta for this canyon. Help us improve the Betabase... if you have details to contribute, please submit them to info@canyoncollective.com and you will be credited.


As with all beta, use the information on this page with caution. Obstacles may change or may be dependent on conditions, as well as group skills and comfort levels. Rap counts may increase if downclimbs get rigged as rappels, anchors may get altered or re-rigged, and conditions will vary. Always be prepared for the unexpected (mental, or physical challenges, or gear needs that you did not anticipate), consider your options, and look for the safest alternative for your group to descend the canyon.

    There is one swim in the upper reaches of the canyon that can be avoided by a full body bridge, though I suspect that most people will have to swim it. Waist deep water is encountered at the end of the dark section and there are a few other sections of knee deep water. The stemming was more physical than expected, but extremely fun. One of the most scenic canyons around!
