Sunny Side Gulch

Sunny Side Gulch is normally bone dry when canyoneers would normally run Middle Earth in moderate flow. However, on a wet year (such as 2023), SSG flows quite well and can be a fun class B run. As of the First Descent, it was flowing nicely and we were glad to have rain jackets. We did a sneak version climbing up Sunny Side Bench rock climb, then continuing up that side and traversing over to get to the drop-in point, which required a few exposed ledge traverses, and 2 short rappels to get into the drainage proper. It certainly can be done from the top off the rim trail for double the vertical extent.
