Bobcats Canyon

A great winter canyon tucked into the Red Rocks of Sedona. This canyon is not a slot but a beautiful slickrock canyon with multiple raps in a really amazing setting. When most canyons in the area are done for winter this can be a great quick and fun option for everyone.

Hike the Bear Mountain trail to above the first bench. Before climbing through the second major bench into the Coconino layer, the trail will cross the drainage to Bobcats. Follow this drainage downhill to the South and your first rappel.

R1: 85' from Chokestone set 35' back from edge, goes into a 55' free hang. R2: 20' from a juniper tree. Head down the slickrock drainage to the third drop. Drop 3 can be downclimbed either in the water course or on the right side. Down-hike through the next slickrock section until you get to the final big drop. R3: 200' from boulder and tree RDC. Final 15' is overhung. Fiddle stick reccomended for loose rock up top, to avoid rope grooves, and rope damage.
