Professor Creek, with it's easy access and flowing stream, is a premier destination on a hot summer day in Moab, providing you make the approach in the morning. The route is not-very-technical, with much more hiking than technical terrain. If you are looking for a highly technical adventure, look elsewhere. If a beautiful hike with a spectacular waterfall is what you have in mind, you have found what you are looking for.
Note: For the non-technical, hiking to the falls and returning is a nice day hike. This can be pleasant even on relatively hot days and is highly recommended.
Canyoneering Route Warning: The exit gully used for the full technical canyoneering route has eroded a bit due to floods. It is now fairly loose and tricky and likely class 4 on loose terrain. Experienced groups, with helmets only! I would also say it is better suited to small groups to minimize dislodging rocks on people below.
