Starting down Boy Scout Canyon from the trailhead.




Some Class 2+ obstacles in the wash.


We escape from Boy Scout Hot Springs comes from over the hills on the right, a few hundred feet before the canyon begins to narrow.


Entering Boy Scout Canyon.


Gorgeous pink narrows.


A fixed line to get down to the rappel.

Looking back at the fixed line.

Heading down Boy Scout Canyon.

Entering the narrows before the hot springs.

Some obstacles, which may or may not have fixed ropes.


It got too dark to take photos on my last visit, so the following photos were from another trip a year later, picking up where I left off.

Continuing down Boy Scout Canyon.


Boy Scout hot springs.

Some runoff, view up-canyon.

Some minor downclimbing through a flowing narrow section.


Approaching the Colorado River.

Standing in the Colorado River, view back toward Boy Scout Canyon.

Back a bit up Boy Scout Canyon, we found the exit gully. It's not super obvious, so pay attention.

Along the route up the escape gully, view toward the Colorado River.

Class 2/3 gully that makes the route reasonable. It's a fairly straightforward ascent from here. Just one Class 3 section ahead.

View back into the gully we came through.

Shortly after the gully, we got to the Class 3 section to gain the rim. It's not nearly as scary as it looks in this photo.

Looking back down the Class 3 section, Colorado River in the distance.

At the top of the escape. We headed along a social trail that led back into Boy Scout Canyon.
