You could (if you can get down the road) start at Eagle Crags and hike up to Cannan Mountain. That way you can turn around if you run into deep snow. The other way you hit deep snow as soon as you summit and head down into the route leaving Water Canyon. Rain would make that a muddy mess however until you get on the slickrock of Cannan.
Things like Many Pools are spectacular in the rain! |

Sounds like good options!
Right now, I think if I do day hikes:
Saturday: Water Canyon and/or Eagle Crags - depending on conditions
Sunday: Your trip
Monday: Many Pools + drive home. |

We are set....
Doing Deertrap from the Canyon Overlook Parking Lot. From the east side of the tunnel go past the larger parking area with the bathroom and drive east to the little one just past it.
Meet at 9am. Courtney and Bo usually get there early and I show up usually just at the cutoff time of 9am.
Not sure if a harness is still needed now!??!?! |
