| no partners | | You can start at the west trailhead or the east trailhead, but we started from the west.
From the west trailhead parking, hike a short distance before coming to a point where you’re forced into the creek. This is the first of many crossings, so don’t bother trying to keep your feet dry. Embrace it and go full send!
The “trail” is marked on maps, but there’s no use trying to follow any specific path. There are generally use trails on either side of the creek, and oftentimes they will just end abruptly and you’ll be forced into another crossing. Sometimes it’s just easier to walk in the creek for as long as you can. Choose your own adventure here.
As you progress through the canyon, the canyon walls will start to become taller and more dramatic.
Most of the time, the water is ankle deep and mellow, but every so often, you’ll be treated to a small section of rapids.
There are established campsites all along the way, and I’ve marked a few of the nice ones I noticed on the map below, but there are others.
Closer to the east side, we found a cool little arch like 50 feet up the canyon wall that we called “Saguaro Arch” because there was a saguaro perfectly positioned on the other side. You probably won’t see it unless you you look back toward the west. |
