Canyons are inherently risky. Flash floods occur without notice on sunny days. Technical skills & surrounding topography knowledge required yet does not eliminate risk.

Expand MapOverview: Super sweet technical canyon with funky slanted geology thru two sets of narrows with 8-10 rappels up to 180ft. Hike up the Rock Creek trail to the 6200ft level and drop down the waterfall alongside the trail. Once done with the canyon, a quarter mile from the last rappel look for a route up the northern bank that contours at 4500ft until it hits the ridge and follow the ridge a half mile and take one of the northern side ridges to reconnect with the Rock Creek trail and the TH nearby,
