This is a technical canyon. If you are unfamiliar with how to build anchors or the gear required for canyoneering do not attempt this route.

May 26, 2018 — From the trailhead, follow Leprechaun Canyon until you get to a slickrock ridgeline that splits the canyon and heads north. Skirt the heads of the west and middle forks of Leprechaun Canyon along a defined use trail and arrive at the head of the East Fork. We thought this one looked the best of the three from our research. Some fun obstacles and rappels lead to a massive orange wall that marks the spot where you join the middle fork of Leprechaun Canyon. The technical stuff is over from here, but proceed through a very skinny narrow section, followed by a really nice rounded narrows section reminiscent of Zion's The Subway, but without water.
