Canyoneering in Salome Jug
May 31 – June 1, 2013
North of Lake Roosevelt in the remote Salome Wilderness, a
ribbon of water draining the Sierra Ancha Mountains cuts
through the rugged desert creating a narrow canyon in Salome
Creek. This canyon offers us one of the premier canyoneering
opportunities in southern Arizona, Salome Jug. Entering from
the top of the Jug, we will hike, rappel, swim and scramble
down 5 miles of rock walls and water through Salome Jug. We
will experience pink vertical walls, canyon-filling pools,
hanging gardens and plummeting waterfalls. A fun and exciting
day and a great introduction to the sport of canyoneering!
Exertion level: Moderate/High
