Trail Overview

The Chute is our blue-level access trail into the north end of the canyon. Like a downhill skier coming out of a racing chute, this trail passes between two rock walls (The Chute) as it hits an immediate 22-degree descent. After the first drop, the trail makes a few sharp turns while descending towards the canyon floor. Once there, it winds its way along a creek bed until it links up with Tin Tin. While under construction this is a one-way trail down into the canyon.
