The canyons out there are beautiful!!

Angel Creek Canyon is one of those beautiful canyons. This canyon is about an hour in length, car to car but don't let that distract you, this canyon is a great introduction to Ouray canyoneering. 

Water was flowing a bit and was just enough to get acclimated into the environment of Ouray. 

There are 4 raps, with an optional escape after the 3rd rap. When you get out to Ouray and you are looking to get ramped up in C class, this canyon has straightforward raps and a scenic start to the Ouray experience.
