150 Mile Canyon: Better than Its' Name

150 Mile Canyon:  twisting muav limestone in beautiful white

150 Mile Canyon can be hiked as far as possible in less than 5 minutes.  It's short but sweet.  A bit of stemming is required to get over one large boulder chockstone.  That gets you into the sweet twisted white narrows you see in this photo.  This section is short because another boulder prevents further travel (see next photo). 

Another suspended chockstone hangs high overhead.  See the last photo for that one.  It's pretty cool.
