Cabin Creek (Olympics)

Cabin Creek has a sporting approach then mostly short easy rappels with a number that can be bypassed with fun jumps up to 60' in height. Unlike other nearby canyons, Cabin Creek doesn't have large snow fields in its 6mi^2 catchment so it might be in earlier then July. CAUTION: There is little chance to escape the canyon left due to 200' cliffs along most of the route. An escape to canyon right is possible with a bushwhack to the main road.

Park at the large camp on the side of the road and descend downhill towards the open cliffs. Traverse towards the canyon keeping the large cliffs on your left until you see the weakness in the cliffs below you. A 60m meter rope can be used to rappel this section which provides a safe location to pull rope. Use one of the cedars below to make a 200' rappel down the cliff face to the canyon floor. Next party through should bring anchor material for the trees.

Follow the creek a short distance until the canyon opens up and make your way towards the gravel pit. There is a faint trail that comes from this area to the creek if you can find it. A road leads from the area to the locked gate.
