A great canyoneering experience in a little known or used location. Not easy to get to but the best ones never are. Just posted a description based on our recent outing. Take someone with canyoneering or climbing experience that can set safe natural anchors. The down climbing can be complicated and difficult because of the polished rock and wet shoes. I posted three tracks. One is of the canyon itself, which is fairly useless since there is no way to get out of the canyon once you're in it. The other two are of the entire loop; one is the original track and one is a considerably scrubbed version which should be fairly accurate. GPS satellite reception in the canyon is terrible because of the southern canyon walls. The pictures turned out pretty good.
