    Christopher Creek Gorge- AZ

    A fun water filled canyon near Payson, AZ. A few rappels, jumps and a whole lot of swimming. This video is from a trip thru back in June. I am finally getting around to editing all the video I have from past trips!

    Awesome! Loved the squeeze under the chockstone near the end. Good way to beat the heat in AZ in summer...

    Yeah, it is a pretty popular place, there are some swimming holes at the beginning of the canyon where lots of people hang out in the summer. The technical portion is fairly easy with no raps over 40' and almost all of them are over large pools, so it is a really good beginner canyon, it was one of my first! I have a friend who has been doing this canyon for well over a decade and has never brought a rope or tech gear with him, he just jumped all the drops!
