We dropped into the canyon from the road on steep terrain. In case you didn't read my trip report above, please note we ascended this canyon, not a descent.

Ascending the pretty narrows.


Some minor obstacles as we progress up the canyon.

And then Maidenwater Canyon (Upper Middle Fork) got narrow and pretty.

Some minor obstacles early on in the canyon.



The obstacles becomes trickier, requiring some stemming to get over big boulders.

More fun obstacles.






We felt the canyon's difficulty progressed as we got farther toward its head.


The second to last major obstacle.


Final obstacle to reach the canyon head.

Matt at the top of the final obstacle. This required crawling behind the boulder he's on, then squirming up and around the upper larger boulder.

Above the final obstacle.

View back into the canyon. We made our way to the ridge on the right.

We headed down the sloping ridge back to the car. Mount Holmes visible in the distance.
