hike4.0exp

This exciting hike loops through Ding and Dang Canyons. Along the way are two crossings of the San Rafael Reef, impressively tight narrows, technical obstacles and beautiful colorful terrain. Ding Canyon is suitable for beginners. Dang Canyon requires intermediate scrambling skills, especially chimneying, and involves some vertical exposure. Due to these challenges the full loop is for expert hikers only.
