Moonshine Wash Trailhead

Excellent non-technical slot canyon
Notes from visits
-
- Very enjoyable non-technical slot canyon
- It is possible to do a loop by traveling up the West Fork (although when we went, there were some challenging technical spots, which included a pool we had to swim)
- Doing the loop requires good route-finding skills to get back to your car
- This canyon is remote, and getting there requires many miles of driving on dirt roads. Be sure you are prepared (avoid the roads when wet, bring a high-clearance vehicle, emergency supplies, etc.).
