Not Water Canyon

With irony, "Not Water" Canyon can hold water!* In late Nov 2021, this canyon had multiple unavoidable pools up to chest deep. Be ready! The PG-13 rating is given because of a tricky pothole escape that requires a ~45ft potshot toss if the canyon is holding water.

Park at the The Lower Gulch Trailhead, Burr Trail Rd, Boulder, UT. Travel north up the lower gulch trail, passing through a cattle fence near the start. Ascend the left fork of the tributary south-west of Not Water in order to get above the Wingate. Traverse into the right hand fork and make your way up and over to the objective.

Ghostable with standard equipment. The first DC/rappel drops into a potential keeper which is easily escaped. The main business is divided into two short sections with an escape RDC being possible in between them.

Follow the lower gulch trail back to your car about 2.5 miles. If you find yourself completing this canyon quickly, this could be paired well with a technical descent down Singing Canyon.
