Along an obvious trail from the trailhead.


The trail leads to the west rim of Salome Creek.

The trail then parallels Salome Creek (right) for a bit before the cliffs become low enough to walk down into the watercourse.

Within Lower Salome Creek.



Fun obstacles start pretty much immediately after entering The Jug.



The most fun waterslide of the day.

Shot back at the very fun slide.

A slickrock down climb obstacle.


Swimming through The Jug.



More swimming as The Jug becomes more narrow.




There's very little to comment on, except that it's slipper, fun, and requires navigating a bunch of Class 2/3 obstacles.





One spot where we partner-assisted to get around a 4-foot drop.

Looking back at a pretty section with the partner assist section.


The technical section of The Jug. A few of us chose to rappel on the left through the narrow watercourse. Others followed a fixed line above, navigating an exposed ledge, dropping down onto a lip, and then jumping into the water below.

Looking up at the exposed ledge to the small drop to a lip (top right), and the jump off (center).

I preferred to rappel, thank you very much.

Looking up at the rappel option.

View back toward the rappel after a swimmer.



Only a bit more fun and swimming after the technical section. The Jug opened up shortly after.

Ascending a trail from The Jug, the mouth of the canyon visible center bottom. The trail led back to our approach trail and then back to the trailhead.
