Tank Canyon

Located on the White Mountain Apache Reservation, Tank Canyon is usually done as an alternate entry into Cibecue Creek. The full route for Cibecue Creek is surely more beautiful and interesting but may require an overnight bivy and special arrangements with the guide. On it's own, Tank is a worthwhile trip containing a couple down climbs, a slide into a pool, a swim, several nice rappels and ending in a very scenic view overlooking Cibecue Creek.

A long rock hopping hike down a dry creek bed for approximately 5 miles with a couple easy down climbs and several still pools that can be avoided. The approach will take approximately 2.5 to 3 hours.

The exit is typically done by going down Cibecue Creek to the Salt River. This involves two additional rappels.
