think we'll head down tomorow and start figuring it out.
taking poverty to the river and heading up.
Shane mentions 3 narrows from the bottom,
we'll start with those

I've only explored the bottom section of Mineral from the river, all non tech.
If I remember correctly the canyon has a paragraph or two in Kelsey's Hiking the CP book.

We hiked about 5 miles up to this canyon off mineral,most the hike after the first mile plus was open wash but the views were still Zionesque.
Will work on connecting the last 3plus miles.
may be technical,now if the wife and I can get someone to help us get canyoneering we would get this done and maybe drop the headwall with trained assistance,any volunteers?

Wow! Incredibly beautiful canyon! Good eye to see that panel...at first I couldn't figure out why your wife was pointing at the wall.
It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

Does the road drop below the white cliffs?
On google earth it seems like it does, but on TOPO it doesn't...

I love atv's but was a little bummed to see tracks 3 miles up mineral and 4 miles down parunuweap.
We rode our 4 wheeler from the turnout at highway 9 to said turnaround. very well used trail.

looks similar but differant,might be your shot was higher.
looked like you could climb back out 100yds downstream to me.
didn't really see it as a destination canyon as much as just a nice place with a great backdrop to maybe get some training and experience.
would work out great for that if you can climb out where I'm thinking.
much to long to head down mineral.
