El Capitan Canyon

Typically dry canyon with a handful of rappels. This canyon has been a beginner test ground for friends interested in canyoneering. There are a variety of different natural anchors, different ways to start them, none of the rappels are complex and some have a short free hang or side start. A good yet under rated canyon. Beware -- some of the open range cattle in the area can be a bit hostile.

Descend into the canyon at the "Road Narrows" sign and head down canyon.

R1: 15' off of rock pinch into a shallow pool. Avoidable via shelf LDC. R2: 20' off of rock pinch directly at drop for a hard start or about 15' back on tree or knot block for easy start. A short section of walking. Watch for bees. R3: 50' off of rock pinch. Also possible to complete as two rappels (another anchor exists at second stage) or rap 20’ to second stage and downclimb the rest. Tunnel DCR. R4: 15' off of rock pinch. R5: 30' off of small arch high LDC or number of boulder options.
