This scenic loop trip through Park Creek Canyon and Upper Salome Creek is a physically and technically challenging route through remote and rugged canyons in the Salome Wilderness. The trip requires two days to complete with the first day being very strenuous and long. The route demands lots of route-finding, downclimbing on slick rock, multiple rappels including some through flowing water, and lots of wading and forced swims. The trip requires a lot of equipment to complete including two 100' ropes, 40' webbing, rappelling device, multiple rap rings, carabiners, harness, helmet, dry bag, wetsuit, headlamp for possible night hiking, and all the gear needed for an overnight campout. There are lots of natural anchors and existing bolts for the rappels so no bolts will be needed for the rappels. There are some very narrow sections of canyon along this route so do not attempt during times of possible heavy rains.
