Left Vegas at 4am, but well worth it to enjoy this warm dry canyon. Most of the rappels are nothing super fabulous, but the ambiance is. Really great rocks and soil - beautiful colors and a wide variety of rock types.
We needed to replace all but one anchor. There had been a tremendous flow through all the canyons in the area during the October storms.
A good learning experience for me with my first exposure to building cairn anchors.
