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

Expand Map3CIII Canyoneering trip through Middle Oak Creek, rappels to 80 ft. May be combined with Lower Oak Creek. Exit at Lower Oak Creek drop in.


Be careful of rappelling in high flow waterfalls, it can be dangerous if you are not prepared. I would advise against beginners doing this canyon. You will need a wetsuit.
