Canyoneering

This water-filled gorge is a scenic and popular destination for all types of recreation including hikers, kayakers, and canyoneers. The canyon can be hiked without the use of gear but it requires climbing and bypassing a section of the canyon. Climbing down the entire canyon is not too difficult and only requires some downclimbing, lots of swimming and wading, and two short rappels. The water in the gorge is very cold year-round so a wetsuit and dry bag are needed. Rappelling the canyon requires a 1x150' rope, 25' webbing, rappelling device, harness, couple of rap rings, carabiners, and a helmet. There is a lot of very slick rock in the canyon, as well as debris, so wear good shoes and watch your step.
