X-Pine Canyon

Another West Clear Creek Canyon trip with terrible approach roads. A good 4WD will get you close enough and you can just hike the road the rest of the way (if necessary). This may stretch the trip out to more like 5 - 7 miles depending on where you park.

Take your high clearance, 4WD vehicle out to Calloway TH (AKA Trail 33). Park here, and backtrack a ways down the road then branch off and enter the canyon where indicated on the KML.

20' downclimb 15' downclimb / partner assist R1: 130' off a rock pinch in the watercourse. Two-stage through a middle section with a pool which may be carefully avoided on canyon left. R2: 50' from another pinch. Followed by an immediate swim or deep wade. R3: 20' or possible downclimb. R4: 35' with some overhang.
