Hype:
Professor Creek, with it's easy access and flowing stream, is a
premier destination on a hot summer day in Moab, providing you
make the approach in the morning. This is a not-very-technical
route, with much more hiking than technical terrain. If your
looking for a highly technical adventure, look elsewhere. If a
beautiful hike with a spectacular waterfall is what you have in
mind, you have found what you are looking for.
My History:
Having heard about Professor Creek years ago from a post on one
of the canyons group, it was time to get down and do it! In the
summer of 2007, Cristina and I spent a great day in this great
canyon. Rapping the falls left a smile on both our faces.
