Crack Canyon - Winter

[Rob L]

Crack Canyon

Crack Canyon is in the same area as LWH (and many other canyons, of course).
When I got to the area (on a different day that I did LWH), there had been another snowfall, so the roads were even more unused.

Below: I was obviously the first vehicle on the "Behind the Reef" road for several days.


Crack Canyon is an absolute delight in a short there-and-back hike. Three sections of narrows, each of different character.

Below: The first is a short "subway"...


Below: ...the second is narrow with quite a lot of flash-flood debris...


Below: ...involving some scrambling...


Below: ...and the third is quite deep but has a level floor.
