THE RIGHT FORK OF NORTH CREEK (Top-Down Canyoneering Route)

Clouds dance above the beautiful White Cliffs!

As we approach the Left Fork of North Creek, we navigate the various shelf systems to get to the oasis entrance.

Time to get wet! On a hot day, the potholes of the Left Fork are a refreshing way to cool down.

"Thank you, Left Fork, for allowing us safe passage!"

At the Seeps is an easy hike-out spot to the south side of the canyon.

An alternative to getting wet is to scramble down to the cliff just across from the Seeps...

...and do a short rappel into the Left Fork. This crossover spot is typically dry.

And now we slog up the open valley to the saddle between the Left Fork and the Right Fork.

Working hard in the backcountry.

Oh, what beautifully lonely scenery!
