Green Creek Adventures will be hosting a guided three day backpacking trip through one of Arizona's lesser known canyons. Space is limited so if you would like to come, please email us at greencreekadventures@gmail.com as soon as possible.
From Backpacker Magazine:
Wet Beaver Creek, AZ
Outsmart the Mogollon Rim crowds
Lower Wet Beaver Creek can look like northern Arizona's version of the Jersey shore—sun, water, and people. But just upstream, the scene changes entirely. Deep, clear, and partier-free pools ensconced in rippled redrock are shaded by arching sycamores and 1,000-foot-sandstone walls. The canyon can be done as a point-to-point hike in one ambitious day if you've arranged a shuttle car. Start at Waldroup Tank, where a steep descent down Waldroup Canyon leads to Wet Beaver's ironically dry creekbed. Springs surface within a mile, and the next 9 miles is a blur of bushwhacking, boulder-hopping, and swimming down the gut of this Mogollon Rim canyon. When you hear cannonball splashes and thumping boomboxes ahead, you'll know you've reached Bell Crossing, the popular swimming hole. Stop for a jackknife, then hike a sandy, flat 4 miles out to the Bell trailhead.
