Hype:
Sometimes good things come in small packages. This canyon didn't look like much on the map, but turned out to be a charmer. No rappels and no wetsuit needed make this a canyon that can be enjoyed with a small pack. It has varied narrows, and packs a lot of action for such a short canyon. Expect a bit of climbing, squeezing, stemming, and fun.
My History:
I did Horse Play in the fall of 2007. Not really expecting much, I was very pleasantly surprised at how beautiful and fun the canyon was. Turned out to be one of the better non-technical canyons I've seen in awhile.
