Hogwarts Canyon

A short an scenic canyon that is also quite popular and often guided due to the easy access and short approach and exit.

From the parking lot, cross the bridge and then follow the dirt trail that exits to the right off the paved sidewalk. Follow the trail as it turns left and crosses back over the stream, heading up the drainage, staying to the left and keeping an eye out for the occasional cairn until you reach the top of the ridge line. Drop into the next drainage and cross to the far side which will lead you down to the left and into Hogwarts for a magical experience.

Between R3 and R4 is a small stemming section which can be tricky for shorter people as it widens out at the end at the highest part. This will then turn to the left and drop you into a narrow slot (high stemming can avoid the constriction) followed by an easy stem with a wide shelf for your feet.
