Lower Maidenwater - Trachyte
Date: 10/25/2024
Little ones and needed a hand line (plus harnesses). Went down trail and up MW. I’d recommend down MW and up scenic route. Trail Canyon was pretty in bottom 3rd, decent in middle and unappealing in upper 3rd - all of it was walking on large river cobbles. MW had three or so unavoidable pools - with the uppermost being to my belly button (I’m 6’2”). Lots of vegetation and water in bottom 3rd of MW. Long day (7/7.5 hrs)

Hiked from bottom with family- made it to optional rappell above dark slot with Boulder climbing. Then group turned back to right fork for lunch (the littles did great). B and I continued and did most of left fork and half of middle. I did a bit of right but impassable rappell encountered early on
