Indian Springs Canyon

A hidden gem filled with rappels, particularly good after rain.

Park at the turnout near the power line access road which winds its way up to Highline Saddle. At the saddle, gain the ridge and the sub-peak, then descend briefly past the sub-peak to drop in around (34.3481, -118.321). There are many other places you could drop in or even go from Mendenhall Peak, as all these forks appear to converge prior to the technical section.
