Outdoor Project

The ultimate adventure guide

The boat ramp at McHood Park.
Pull over almost anywhere and take a plunge.
Huecos in the fluted sandstone.
Another great petroglyph panel.
This petroglyph panel can be examined from your boat.
People fishing on the beach near ruins of an old railroad pump house.
Solitude can be found here if you paddle upstream of the crowds.
It is a good idea to leave your boats and start hiking at this point, or portage your boats.
The flatwater eventually gives way to a stream and riparian habitat.
Scramble out of the canyon for a great view.
Petroglyphs can be found scattered throughout the canyon; please do not carve your name into the rocks.
The sandstone walls rise to around 40 feet tall the further upstream you go.
In a few sections the stream takes up the whole canyon and requires swimming.
