Rating
3
Technical Class Indicates the technicality of the terrain and the tyoe of rope work require.
1 -
Canyon Hiking Non-technical. No rope is required. See the route description for difficulties.
2 -
Basic Canyoneering Scrambling, easy climbing or downclimbing. A rope may be handy for handlines, belays, lowering packs and emergency use. Exit or retreat possible upcanyon without fixed ropes.
3 -
Intermediate Canyoneering Rappels or technical climbing and/or downclimbing. A rope is required for belays and single-pitch rappels. Retreat upcanyon would require fixing ropes.
4 -
Advanced Canyoneering Aid climbing, multi-pitch rappels and/or complex rope work (such as re-belays, tyrollean traverse, or guided rappels) may be required. Might also require difficult pothole escapes, serious squeezing, extensive high-risk downclimbing, or have difficult-to-establish natural anchors. Rappels longer than 200 feet will usually earn a canyon a Class 4 rating.
A
Water Rating indicates complications due to flowing or still water, under normal conditions.
A -
Normally dry or with very little water. Wading to waist deep at most.
B -
Water with no current or light current. Still pools. Falls are normally dry or running at a trickle. Swimming expected.
C -
Water with strong current. Waterfalls. Wet canyon rope techniques required.
I
Time or Grade indicates the length of the adventure.
I -
Short. A couple of hours.
II -
Requires about a half day.
III -
Normally requires most of a day.
IV -
Expected to take a long day. Get up early, bring a headlamp. Possible bivy.
V -
More than one day. Normally done in two days.
VI -
Two full days or more.
Additional Risk Rating indicates the presence of more risk factors than might be expected.
No Rating -
Normal risk factors are present on this adventure.
R -
One or more extraordinary risk factors exist that complicate the descent. Solid technical skills and sound judgment required. Not appropriate for beginners, even with competent leadership.
X -
Multiple risk factors exist that will complicate the descent. Errors in technique or judgment will likely result in serious injury or death. Descent should be attempted by expert canyoneers only. This is the least-well-established part of the rating system, and the most subjective. Use by beta-providers varies widely, to the point that this part of the rating means very little.

Once the canyon opens up fairly wide, look for the best place to scramble up a ramp-like slab to the left. It is pretty easy to see since there are some footholds carved into the slab. After the short scramble, a well-worn trail will appear. Follow the trail up the gulley and to the road. At the road, turn left and walk a short distance back to your car.

Yankee Doodle Rappels
1 - 4 rappels
Rappel 1
Rappel 1 Anchor
Webbing around a tree on the right of the entrance of the canyon entrance.
Overview
This is a fun and easy-going first rappel that drops you to the canyon floor. It can be bypassed on the left of the slot entrance by walking another 100 ft down canyon from this optional first rappel then scrambling down to the canyon floor.
Rappel 2
Length: 75 ft
Optional Rappels/Downclimbs
Length: ft
Coordinates: 37.235096,-113.452245
More anchor information coming soon.
Overview
After the last rappel, there are multiple short downclimbs before exiting the canyon. Most of the downclimbs will be easy for experienced and competent canyoneers, and none of the downclibs are more than 9 ft. There are bolts at all of the harder or more tricky downclimbs for beginners or those who are not comfortable doing the downclimbs, so a belay or rappel can be set up.

After the last rappel, there are multiple short downclimbs before exiting the canyon. Most of the downclimbs will be easy for experienced and competent canyoneers, and none of the downclibs are more than 9 ft. There are bolts at all of the harder or more tricky downclimbs for beginners or those who are not comfortable doing the downclimbs, so a belay or rappel can be set up.

Yankee Doodle Canyon Trip Reports
April 17, 2021
We had a group of 4 when we did this canyon and we finished in well under 2 hours. This is a great beginner canyon! Both rappels are straight forward and the canyon gives beginners a chance to practice some short downclimbing. We were able to avoid the water on the last pothole. The exit is straight forward too.
