Replay Canyon

A rugged canyon near Tonto Basin, AZ with a few rappels and several downclimbs. The northern-facing drainage receives minimal sun exposure during the wintertime, resulting in ice sheets developing on the vertical obstacles.

Dirt road from highway 188 to turn down to parking should be fine for passenger vehicle with good tires and driven carefully. All wheel drive vehicle probably preferred to park at trailhead down road that turns down. Follow trail 66 until it crosses creek, about 1/4 mile. Head off trail up left. Follow ridge line up. Hike down slope into canyon.

Optional challenging downclimb. Notable downclimb a few feet after R4. Some may want to rappel. About 10'.
