Five Springs Creek

Five Springs Creek with a short shuttle is a nice couple hour canyon with great views, fun rappels and a good pay to play.

Drive 11.5 miles East of Bighorn Lake on Alt Highway 14a. Turn north on Old US Hwy 14a. Park the return vehicle at the Five Springs Campground in the circular drive at the trailhead to the falls. Drive a shuttle 1.1 miles further up Old US Hwy 14a past several roadside campsites to the end of the road. Hike the trail following the Old US Hwy 14a roadbed and depart the trail downhill to Five Springs Creek at (44.81011, -107.96381). It could also be possible to start the approach from the other end of the closed Old US Hwy 14a at (44.80626, -107.95396), but that is a longer hike and shuttle.

R1: 55' from a tree DCR R2: 75' from a tree DCR shared with an ice climber anchor. Bypass on ledges DCR. R3: 140' from bolts DCL Follow a use trail DCR and downclimb the final few drops before catching the trail.
