Beta 4 U Hatch and Fiddler Cove Canyons

[Scott P]

Non-tehnical, but really nice canyons in a seldom visited area of the Roost:

I'll have the route page done for the Red Ledges route into Fiddler Cove soon

Scott, do you have any idea how far up North Hatch Canyon you can go by following the canyon floor? I know there is a 4WD road to the North of the canyon that somewhat follows the rim. I am wondering if I could drop in using the pack trail near 6327T and then follow the North Hatch canyon floor until I hit the Dirty Devil River without needing a rope.

Scott, do you have any idea how far up North Hatch Canyon you can go by following the canyon floor?

I'm not positive, but I think you could probably walk all the way through (with some bypasses). We didn't go all the way through, but went to where the canyon began to widen. I guess it's possible that there's an obstruction farther up canyon, but I'm guessing that with some route finding you could get all the way through.

Fiddler Cove has a blocking falls for sure, so you can't get all the way though that one.
