Beautiful Thanksgiving Trip We did this trip on Thanksgiving with 10 people. The Rangers at Hans Flat Ranger station were very helpful and nice to talk to. Up to Hans Flat Ranger Station it is an easy drive when the roads are dry. Starting from there a high clearance vehicle and 4 wheel drive were for sure needed. The Canyon contained one hip-deep pool that contained cold water (i would say between 30°F and 40°F). After that it got muddy, but fun! Just be aware that you can get wet and cold. We decided to pack extra dry clothes and help each other out with lifting packs over the pool to keep them dry. Webbing and rope is always good to carry with you. A beautiful rappell at the end! Such a wonderful canyon

We went down the East fork and climbed back up the Main fork. Water up to hips at some spots. East fork is my favorite canyon so far.

My first Canyon. Middlet fork. Beautiful and narrow.
