Description Suggest change

Another secluded canyon that doesn't see much travel. The rock is just as good as the rest of the area, it's just kind of a pain in the ass to get to.

Getting There Suggest change

Follow the wagon trail down the stairs and walk for nearly a mile, watch for the signs bolted to the rocks on the south side of the trail. Just past the sign for upper fifth you will see the sign for the lower fifth canyon, follow the trail down into the canyon and then bear right until you see the rocks.
