Hot Loop Canyon

Trailhead- Jacks Canyon Distance: 3.5 miles Duration: 3-4hrs+ Difficulty: Easy

A good beginner canyon within close proximity to Highway 17, making it an excellent candidate for a quick adventure before leaving town. The head of the technical section features an 85’ muilt-stage rappel down a broken coconino waterway. The remainder of the rappels are fairly short and underwhelming, but beginner friendly. The canyon itself holds some unique beauty for the area, including hidden petroglyphs and towering walls. On hotter days the canyon is well shaded, making this a worthwhile option for most of the year.
