Hidden Falls is in the corner of the Willow Spring trailhead yet on our last rap the falls are not that hidden as there were scores of people at the bottom.  There was a small trickle of water coming down from hidden falls but the canyon itself was actually better than I thought it would be.

This took is up over 1000ft. of elevation gain to a yellowish sandstone ridge and over to Hidden Falls Canyon.  This is the same ridge trail that you can use for Ice Box and Ice Cube canyons as well. I believe this is the ridge trail that traverses across the peaks of the red rock.

Continuing down we encounter the first two raps which have some similar quality as zion canyons, but at a small scale to Zion. Still, Hidden Falls has varnished walls and yellowish sandstone cliffs with pine trees peppered into the canyon.

I was not expecting a lot out of this canyon but I was surprised to see the slab rock canyon drainage with the gorge like descent that we found in Hidden Falls Canyon.

We got a bit turned around when we did not see anchors for some of the raps  where I would have thought there would have been but we managed to work around this and continue our descent and beating the afternoon winds. 

As we headed down the canyon, the walls rose and Hidden Canyon reflected another great canyon in the red rock area that provides some great views and fun canyon.  

There is quite a lot of boulder hopping and bush whacking and pools of water to work around, which was successful until we got to the second to the last rap. 

Thankfully, the weather conditions cleared up and it was just warm enough for us to keep moving without too much of a chill. The water was in the 50s and there was a small trickling stream going through he bottom half of the canyon.

Once we got to the last rap, the pristine sounds of bighorn sheep kicking small rocks on us and winds breezing through the pines went away and the smell of cheap cologne and voices of all kinds of octaves could be heard below us.

The last rap was a nice one but we got out of there quickly and made it back to the car just over 7 hours from the start.  We were lolly gagging around in the canyon and we still make it out in good time.
