Canyons are inherently risky. Flash floods occur without notice on sunny days. Technical skills & surrounding topography knowledge required yet does not eliminate risk.
![]() Start out by hiking up the closed road as if you were hiking to Frenchman Mountain. Hike up, up, up to the saddle (approx. 1.1 mi). Stop for a quick breather, then continue hiking the road down to the bottom - this is where the canyon begins. Turn right, leaving the road, and hike down the wash. Shortly after, you will reach the first rappel. There are a total of 4-6 rappels, depending on the downclimbing skill of your group. The last rappel is the longest - 80 ft. Plenty of downclimbs between rappels to keep things interesting. After the last rappel, continue down the wash a short distance, then catch a use trail to the left up and out of the canyon. Follow this trail onto a small ridge, where you will be able to see your vehicle. Use the maze of closed roads and use trails to return to your vehicle. Warning: No shade and no water. Low elevation plus steep hike up. Be smart. Check out the Triplogs. Leave No Trace and +Add a Triplog after your canyon trip to support this local community.
