This loop trip is a technically challenging adventure through a beautiful, remote canyon south of Flagstaff in the Coconino National Forest. Reaching the canyon from the car does not follow a designated trail and requires some route-finding and cross-country hiking. Completing the loop trip through the canyon requires lots of downclimbing, bouldering, multiple rappels, and some swimming. To safely complete the rappels adequate equipment is needed which includes 1x200' rope or 1x100' rope and 1x100' pull-cord, 30' webbing, 3 rappelling rings, rappelling device, harness, carabiners, helmet, and a dry bag. There are multiple pools that require wading and forced swims so a dry bag is advised as well as a wet suit, especially during cooler temperatures. There is a lot of slick rock along the route so be cautious and watch your step.
