The Hike

The Hike

1. Enter the canyon

   From the gravel parking area, follow the wash into the canyon. The lower narrows reveal smooth marble walls.

2. Choose your turnaround

   A boulder obstruction about 1.3 miles in is a common turnaround. Continue only if the scrambling and route are within your abilities.

3. Stop at the final dryfall

   The full route ends at an approximately 25-foot dryfall. Turn around here; do not attempt to climb it.

4. Retrace your route

   Return down the canyon on the same route, allowing time to negotiate obstacles carefully.
