Canyon Experience :

Descended on the 4/09/23. Water level was between 1 and 2 on the water level indicator. All jumps were still good to go, no new significant changes, a hanger was missing from the hand line used to enter the canyon. A few hangers are loose and some bolts show damage from rock fall. Incredible canyon and definitely worth travelling for. Watch out for the millions of ticks!
