Deadeye Dick
A couple of weeks ago we had the opportunity to visit this canyon. The hike up the hill in the heat was a little taxing, but well worth the experience to come. Navigation is fairly easy, and you get to refresh in the river part of the way there (and back).

Thank you Tom. I'm remembering reading this on one of the forums, but I suppose being there solidifies the facts in your mind best.

That last couple of miles in high heat wears on you after a fun day, but still worth it.
