Located in the Marble Canyon area of the Grand Canyon, this scenic route leads through a narrow canyon down to the Colorado River. A 100-foot rope, harnesses, carabiners, ascending gear, and helmets are required to navigate the canyon safely. There is a large 70-foot drop that is descended by tying a rope around a boulder located in the bowl above the drop. There are a few other drop-offs along the way that can be bypassed on the side. The trip requires good route-finding and rope-ascending skills. There is also one pool that requires a deep wade or possible shallow swim to cross. There is not a designated trail from the road into the canyon but a short walk through the desert and following a drainage will lead into the canyon.
