Blue Pools Wash 3A1, Arizona

Heading down the highway toward Page we checked out another short canyon right off the road. Straightforward — could be done as a lunch-hour meetup. The cream-colored canyon walls and somewhat deep and shallow sections gave some decent scenery for this desert drainage.

The last rap is a 50ft drop to the canyon floor and into a short, scenic narrow section. Upon pulling the rope — we stuck it! Of course we stuck the rope. A reminder to ALWAYS pay attention to what you're doing no matter what canyon you're in. It was easy to climb back up and un-stick it from the anchor. Easy and hot back to the car — an hour later, headed to our destination.
