Canyon is North Fork Twin Corral Box, aka Alcatraz. It is fairly short, but has a few meaty technical sections, including a hanging keeper pothole and some sections too skinny to pass through at ground level.
Campsites are never really awesome out there, best one probably being Granary Springs, at the head of Blue John. Might be out of the way though, depending on which canyons you want to do. Shane describes a campsite near moonshine on his site, I believe.
Are you comfortable doing technical canyons, or are you looking for more non-tech variety?

Three Canyon is a pretty easy tech route that is literally just across the road from Moonshine

Hey.... if you do the moonshine loop on my website get a few pictures of the old cement whiskey vats if you would. I would like a few for reference.
Thanks

The arch and the cave are accessible from the same trailhead (TopoZone Map), which is less than 10 miles from the Moonshine Wash trailhead.
As for camping, it seemed to me that there was a good spot on the south side of the bridge over the San Rafael River, about five or six miles north of the Moonshine trailhead.
Here's a Google Earth KMZ with placemarks for all the places mentioned above, plus some pics for Ice:

What the best way to do moonshine?
Start from the bottom (SR river) or from the top end?

So... can you drive beyond the trail head you marked? I am looking on google earth and it looks there is a road that goes towards the bow knotbend and that set or arches. This may be a good area to hang out in friday night...maybe set up camp... check out the arches and get some shots of the bowknot bend before sunset. The I think we are going to spend all day saturday checking out Moonshine.

We will be taking a '07 Tacoma, If you watch TV you should know that Tacomas can handle damn near anything! Even the loch ness monster... and dragons in the World of Warcraft I am not scared of a little ATV road.
I really have no problem hiking in from there, really just wondering if we should camp in that area.

Hey Udink.. I found this ...
Horseshoe Canyon and Keg Spring Canyon have resulted in the closure of these areas to OHV use. One way was identified in the wilderness inventory and is open to OHVs. It extends approximately 3/4 mile into the WSA east of Keg Knoll and ends at a hiking trail to a five hole arch.
Also.. how deep is that Cave near keg spring? Is it work checking out?
Thanks again.

Thanks for the info on Colonnade Arch, it was well worth checking out. We stopped at the arch then hiked out to the Bowknot Bend. I should be able to post a TR soon.
Thanks again!
