Our intention for the hike was to go in a couple of hours and turn around. Though the hike is not difficult technically, hiking through the water for hours is tiring :D We were thinking we'd find a couple of canyons - but we only found/ventured into Hells acre on the way back. Water level was ankle to knee deep & we found ourselves hiking in the water most of the way to our turn around spot - as it was cooler and easy to follow. Do not wear tevas - as rocks will be under foot all the time. I changed out of mine right away & put on boots (use socks too - and tie tightly to avoid the rocks entering).
We went in 3.4 miles, just before I guess Javelina Canyon -- there were waterfalls and we had lunch. The hike back with the sun starting to go down cast beautiful light in the canyon & we found our trek back (with the current) to be prettier and easier. We used a side trail for about a mile coming back and made better time. Our moving avg was 1.9 mph overall - so not fast whatsover. We hiked about 6.5 miles - as we must have hiked more directly coming back. We did run into 4 seperate groups of people & it was fun to chat. We were the only ones not there for multiple days. One hardy group of elderly women did the hike end to end w/ 1 night camping. Woohoo for them :y: They said the prettiest part of the canyon was in the middle - guess we would have had to go another mile or two in. Next time : )) We were very lucky to buy our permits the day before, as everything was sold out. Yee haa. Enjoy!
