Hype:No Mans canyon, next to Larry, seems often overlooked by canyoneers. Both forks, however, are good and very beginner friendly. The north fork has one of the most scenic sections of canyon around, and is highly recommended. The South Fork is recommended for those with ascending skills, and can be done along with the North Fork in one long day.Login For Full Details!Photos:   
My History:I have been in both forks over the years, most recently in the spring of 2008, when we did the North and South forks in a day as described here. Years ago, I did the entire South Fork without fixing. This is a long hike, and not recommended. Fixing and jugging allows you to see the best part of the canyon easily. |
