@chumley
Are there any requirement for going to that canyon, asking for a friend?

@friendofThundergod
If you can't find it, you can't go.....

I camped at Dick Creek on Mount Rainier a few years ago. That was just regular ol' Dick Creek, not the big version...

and yet Chums knowing about this canyon comes as no surprise.

@Alston_Neal
Totally depends who it is. I'm sure it could come as a surprise in the right circumstance.

Big Dick Canyon, Kofa Mountains.
Edit: I did not see Chumley's post. I will have to go on a quest to find an equally amusing name to redeem myself.

I've been there, and there is another one nearby in Utah near the Paria Canyon Wilderness.

@RedRoxx44
I would certainly hope that they come in pairs. :-)

I know this isn't in Arizona, but some day I'd like to traverse Swinging Dick Gap in North Carolina.

@rcorfman you should freehike it to really drive the point home
