Driftwood Canyon

Driftwood Canyon is a short side canyon off the main channel around mile 46, a few miles uplake from Dangling Rope and downlake from Forbidding Canyon. It narrows quickly into a slot you can keep exploring on foot. Steps cut into the sandstone near the mouth are known as the miners' stairs. Wind and boat traffic in the main channel can build rough water quickly.
