Adventure Time! Explore Indian Canyon (side canyon to Carrizo Canyon) Beyond the Dry Waterfall
Have you ever wondered how far you can go up Indian Canyon? Let’s find out together!
Indian Canyon is the narrow side canyon that links into Carrizo Canyon just before the first dry waterfall in Carrizo. There are no defined trails/routes up Indian, but there are ways to get past the various dry falls to explore the upper reaches. In this hike we will go as far as our courage and time allow.
Will this be too difficult for you? Your humble leader will not climb up anything which he fears climbing down, so we will stop when the going gets tough and congratulate each other before turning around and going home. This will involve contour hiking with no real trails. There will be exposure to heights (depths?).
This Canyon is closed to hikers January 1 to September 30!
3+ miles with elevation gain of >400 feet . Map here: https://caltopo.com/m/QEP8D
