Jan 23, 2019 — Pipe Spring Canyon is a nice walk of solitude down a fairly uneventful wash. There are three sections of short narrows, the first two with slick granite and small drops, the final a 15-foot dryfall that can be downclimbed or bypassed. There's the occassional section of brush, but nothing too crazy until the end of the canyon, where I decided to turn around rather than become food for the desert. I hesitate to call the route Class 3, but some of the dryfall obstacles can require a bit of climbing.
Before turning around, I hiked up a hill to get a view down into Pipe Spring Canyon and of Lake Mohave. Not the place to go if you want an interesting slot, but if you need some time away, I guess this would do the trick.
