This short canyon, a tributary of West Clear Creek, provides canyoneers of all skill levels with some of the best scenery West Clear Creek has to offer along with a little challenge. Navigating your way through the canyon requires route-finding, multiple rappels, some downclimbing, and lots of wading and swimming. The canyon has some sections of very deep, dark narrows so be cautious and do not hike during times of possible flash flood. The water in the canyon is very cold so a wetsuit is always advised. To safely complete the rappels in the canyon a 1x80' rope, 20' of webbing, two rappel rings, rappelling device, harness, helmet, and dry bag are needed. Exiting the canyon is possible after entering West Clear Creek and hiking northeast for about 10 minutes. There will be a steep path on the right that leads back up to the trailhead.
