This is a scenic boulder-filled canyon located in the Santa Catalina Mountains that offers lots of technical canyoneering challenge. The canyon consists of four rappels that require identifying and using some tricky natural anchors and lots of climbing along wet slippery rock. For the rappels you will need two 200' ropes, 100' of webbing, rappelling device, carabiners, 6 rap rings, harness, helmet, and good shoes. Also, due to the amount of water in the canyon come prepared with a dry bag and wetsuit for the multiple swims. The trip is a long all-day adventure so a headlamp is also advised for possibly hiking at night. The trip can be exited by using either the Sabino Canyon trail or the Old Prison Camp route.
