Pony Express

Fun short dry canyon with 4 rappels max ~80'. Scenic hike with Sunrise Arch and others along the approach. Just across the Lower Salt river from water users #1. In winter (~8 cfs) can use a river rock fisherman crossing and keep your feet dry. In summer (~450+ cfs) will require some swimming or packraft crossing.

Cross river. Go west, or right up obvious gully. Follow use trail to saddle passing Sunrise Arch and scrambling up a narrow gully. Then travel flat ground to obvious drainage.

Downclimb or possible 20' rappel off a chockstone. Easy slot with about six foot drop. R1: 40' off boulder backed up by tree LDC. A few easy downclimbs. R2: 80' off of boulder RDC. Followed immediately by downclimb. R3: 60' two-tier drop off of tree and boulder LDC.

Stay RDC as canyon ends for least bushy way to river. Follow river west to where crossed on approach.
