Long hike uphill and hot. Very dry but would require wetsuit if not.
Completed this canyon on April 14, 2019. Some standing water in the canyon that was avoidable. Where you downclimb to the ledge above a pool and downclimb into the pool, the water was not avoidable and knee deep. Great canyon and temperatures of 70F was perfect for going through the canyon. Anchors were all in good condition.
Tight with a lot of stemming. There are short breaks between the stemming areas. Temperature was around 65F and was good for all the effort put into moving through the canyon. Water was not avoidable at the slide for the members in our group. With a group of 9 people with varying levels of canyoneering experience, it took us 8 hours but there was no rush.
Only had one pothole filled with water during our trip. Great canyon for a quick trip.
