Moonshine Wash
5 05 2008After leaving Champagne Geyser, we set off for Moonshine Wash. We entered through a side road that lead us within half a mile of the narrows. This canyon doesn’t require ropes but it does require some climbing skills. The biggest dryfall is about 10 feet but it is easy to chimney down them.
Start of the narrows


After a short distance, the wash gets deeper and the dryfalls appear. After climbing past 2 the canyon really deepens.

Within half a mile of the start, we passed under the sheep bridge. The canyon is really deep in this part. In this picture, my father is standing underneath.


Just another tenth of a mile the canyon widens.

The escape route is then 3/4 a mile from the sheep bridge.


The walk back to the car was tiring, there were a lot of up and down. The trail was also sandy. I would not recommend taking children along the rim to the bridge. It is steep and sandy and a lot of exposure.
