Highlights
Outing Highlights
A compact 2‑mile loop with plenty of variety
The full outing covers roughly 2 miles (3 km) with about 425 ft (130 m) of total ascent/descent and sits between roughly 5,597 and 5,775 ft in elevation — a concentrated half‑day of slot canyon moves and scenic passages.
Two rappels and some third‑class climbing
Expect two rappels (roughly 15 ft / 5 m and 80 ft / 24 m) and sections of third‑class climbing; the route is rated Moderate for both physical and technical difficulty, so some ropework and careful footwork are part of the experience.
Pools, wading and the chance to swim
The canyon includes at least one stretch where pools and standing water appear; depending on recent rains you will encounter wading and a possible swim, adding a refreshing, playful element to the loop.
