Tom Jones named Ho Hum Canyon after our descent of the canyon in December 2004. The name is harsher than it probably deserves, and I found the canyon had more charm than Tom did. Compared to the nearby canyons such as White Roost, Chambers, and North Fork of Robbers Roost, Ho Hum is not as dramatic.

Ho Hum is short, but does have some downclimb and other challenges that make it interesting. It also drops into the upper reaches of the North Fork of Robbers Roost, which I think is a delightful and beautiful section of canyon to hike in. I would not recommend this above other canyons in the area, but think it is worth doing once you have done all the other classics nearby.
