Hidden Canyon Route Details

The Hidden Canyon Trail isn't the only way into this hanging canyon: you can also follow a canyoneering route from the east plateau. The route requires some technical skills since it involves a number of rappels of more than 100 feet each, as well as some exposed climbing on the way down.
