Oct 04, 2017 — From the trailhead, which can be reached by any vehicle, though sedans might struggle, we found the head of Boltergeist Canyon by dropping south into the drainage and scrambled down a few easy Class 2 obstacles. From the top of the first rappel you can see the entirety of Boltergeist Canyon to come. The second rappel drops down a tight chimney and can be down-climbed instead of rappelled. Another short rappel led to the end of the narrows and down to a great view at final dropoff that looks higher than it is. After the last rappel, we continued north up a lush canyon with an obvious trail. A Class 2 scramble leads up the west side of this canyon to the rim. It's a short walk back to the car from here. This is a short canyon, so you might want to include nearby Yankee Doodle Hollow into the day.
