The canyoneering bug

I was at the Tonto Narrows this past Sunday as part of the clean up crew. A few of us headed further up the Narrows on a short adventure that was alot of fun. I was thinking of returning to the Narrows this Saturday 6/14 as a day hike to explore a little further up stream (this is my first choice), but wanted to keep my options open for other simular places that I haven't been to yet. So my question to my fellow HAZ members is, where do I find a good place to do a little canyoneering for the day. I would prefer someplace that involves a combination of bouldering, scrambling, and swimming not unlike the Narrows. If so, I will force myself to return to the Narrows. :roll:
