I know it's near Mt. Carmel Junction but that's about it. Anyone done it, have pictures, beta, warnings, insults, etc.?

Have done it. It runs north from Diana's Throne to finish under the highway just south of Mt Carmel Jct. Bring a 200' rappelling capability.

It has a couple of nice spots, but a lot of walking in a wash between them. Does not hold together well. It is 3 miles from my house, and I have been there twice in 4 years, and have not been tempted otherwise.

I really like this canyon cause it is very beautiful with lots of downclimbing and fun anchor building... a short but sweet. It got hit with a hard flood last August that emptied out all the potholes and made alot of quicksand in the deep narrow section. Hopefully it fills with sand again this winter. Its nice to do as a loop hike by parking here ( 37

Sorry I didnt respond earlier. Yes this is the route. There is a nice game trail following the sandy ridgeline back to the vehicle.

Is this canyon also known as Elkhart Cliffs Canyon or Sheep Gulch? If not where are these in relation to Diana's?

is this canyon a/k/a Sheep Gulch, too? You guys are calling it "Diana's", AMSW.net is calling it "Elkhart Cliffs" (seen it labeled that on other places too), and on Google Earth there are some pics in this drainage labeled "Sheep Gulch".

???

If this is not Elkhart, then where would Elkhart be?
