Información

This 3B III canyon, Video and photo set here > https://youtu.be/hbrgD5MCnA0 https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1541698855850549.1073742091.100000313473011&type=3 (possibly a 3B II if your in a hurry) is located in the Wet Beaver Creek Wilderness area just off of I-17 where you pick up Long Canyon Trail 63 and head up to the top. The approach and the exit is all trail so that's nice. First descent claimed by, Myself, Jason Danoff and Todd Holmes. The technical section is relatively short, around 1 mile in length but packs a nice little punch with 8 rappels, a short section of narrows, 2 to 3 swimmers and plenty of down climbs, followed by a beautiful hike on the Weir trail then the Bell trail back to your vehicle. This exit can be pack-rafted at 150 to 200 CFS as well. We did another first descent deeper in the Wet Beaver Wilderness a few years ago that had a nice technical section with 5 rappels but it was a super long trip with an overnight down along the creek. Leave it to Beaver might very well be the only technical canyon worth doing in that area.
