Trachyte Canyon

Trachyte Creek has around 20 significant tributary canyons, all quite deeply incised into a big area of exposed Navajo sandstone extending south from Trachyte Point. The main gorge is mostly quite wide, containing a permanent stream flowing past sandbanks bearing trees and bushes, but its upper part has a few quite pretty sections where the waters form cascades, waterfalls and curving channels, as the canyon becomes temporarily vertical walled and moderately narrow.
