The trip start has been placed at the 2015 low water mark, which is right at the Colorado River. As Lake Powell fills up, the start of the trip will begin further into the canyon.


Hike up the canyon along high benches above the creek, until reaching a nice area with waterfalls where you can swim. Shade in the lower canyon is available in the morning and late afternoon. A small ledge with some exposure must be traversed towards the end.
