Untrimmed Bush

A short, fun adventure through a quick drop in rhyolite rock out in the Owyhees. There has been a little water to step through each time it has been done. Expect up to knee deep water. If you're lucky, you may get through completely dry.

We hiked up from the Southeast side of the canyon. It climbs quickly, but it's pretty straight forward.

The first rappel comes immediately and the other two are directly after that. There are a couple sections of breaking through tumbleweeds as deep as you are tall, thus the name Untrimmed Bush. I would advise against doing this canyon in warmer months as you would never know if you were about to step on a rattlesnake through all of that tumbleweed. If you bring snake guards, well then have at it anytime of the year. Each of the three anchors are from pinched rocks or slung boulders.

You're basically back at your vehicle at the finish.
