Bobcat (CNM)

Bobcat is a short canyon route with some ok, but not exceptionally memorable rappels. The approach and return are reasonable and straightforward.

Park at the Devil's Kitchen Trailhead. From the Devil's Kitchen Trailhead Parking, hike 15 min on the Devil's Kitchen / Old Gordon Trail to the intersection with the Echo Canyon Trail. Continue uphill on the Old Gordon Trail to (39.01666, -108.63201), depart the trail and head Northwest to the top of the Bobcat drainage.

R1: 55' from a rock or tree DCR for a two stage rappel. The first lip is an awkward start and the rappel is overgrown. R2: 35' (DC) from a tree DCR or downclimb DCR R3: 85' from a tree in Canyon Center, then DC DCL R4: 60' from a tree DCR or end the canyon following a use trail DCL at the top of R4, which heads toward the Devil's Kitchen.
