From the Checkerboard trailhead over to drop a 4x4 and back to Checkerboard is 3 hours.
Good part is you set it up the night before. If working to create a weekend combo platter with Rock Canyon it would not be bad at all.
Hiking from the river, up French, to the 4x4 takes about 45 minutes. Not a bad hike out at all.
Rock Canyon Trailhead is a primo campsite :2thumbs: |

Hey Ice,
so right across from the mouth of rock cyn there is a extremely short canyon ... then just downstream from that, on the north side, there is a very long & very narrow canyon ... have you explored up this from the bottom? know about the descent? looks like it could be pretty great from the sat images. |

I don't know anything about the canyon you mentioned. I think eventually several interesting south side P-weap canyons will be discovered, and I think the key to accessing them all will be the French Canyon Retreat.
I have now exited French from upstream and from downstream, its is very convenient and a nice hike in p-weap from either direction. Only word of warning is hiking up canyon might be very difficult at flow above 50cfs. |

well, it looks like difficult access, but it looks deep and dark, with possibly a huge rap in and a huge rap a 2/3s down as it seems to switch faults or something.
it could be really really good. :2thumbs: |
