On Monday, March 19th, 2013, Steph, Tony, Ram, Mark, Ziff and I took a leisurely lap through Cassidy Arch Canyon.

While not a difficult canyon by any means, it was a fun way to spend a half-day amongst some impressive scenery. Three of the rappels go underneath arches, which made for much oohing and ahhing.

Steph on rap #1.

Me on rap #1. Ram snapping photos in the foreground.

Mark managing the anchor on rap #2. And me carefully making my way over to the anchor (meow).
64466

Me above rap #3. Note the arch below.

Tony swinging under the arch on rap #3.

I'd like to thank Ram for putting this hike together and for introducing us to Mark and Ziff. It was a fun day spent with some great people!

Now for kicks and giggles, go do the North Fork of Cassidy.

Just as fun as the arch entry route, imo

I've never heard of this. Same general area?

Yep, left most branch, heads pretty much Due North.

Seems like the first rap, off a tree, rigged releasable, was in the 150' range but go prepared, I'm old.

My brother and I did the traditional route last June, but on the way to the arch I made a comment to my brother about the fact that the "North Fork" looked like a fun way to go as well.

Any pics of your trip using this route?
