Bear Creek

A moderate canyon with 3 rappels, the longest being 180'. A good amount of down climbing. It has a 2.5 hr approach with the last portion off trail. Some navigation skills required as there is a bit of cross country. A quick half day canyon that can easily be done before the heat kicks in.

Begin at the Bear Creek trail head and follow the trail for about 3.8 miles. Here you leave the trail and head in a south east direction towards the canyon. Head towards a saddle in this direction picking your route carefully as there is a lot of cacti. Once at the saddle down climb on the other side until you reach the canyon floor.

There will be substantial down climbing leading up to the first rappel.
