Trip
Intermediate Canyon - Mineral Creek
Join for this incredibly scenic canyon first descended less than 3 weeks ago. You'll be part of the 3rd known group through this canyon (less than 10 people are known to have descended this canyon), and also observe anchor maintenance/bolt placement procedures that go into establishing new canyons. Camera highly recommended, this canyon makes for good pictures!
