Warm Springs Loop
aka: Caliente, Fun Slot, Pottymouth
Lake Powell
Technical Canyoneering
Warm
Springs Loop is a fun moderate route for experienced canyoneers located on Lake Powell.
The canyon is not accessible from the lake and must be reached by four wheel drive.
The name Warm Springs was given to the canyon by early prospectors. Before Lake Powell was
filled there was a small year round stream that flowed out of the bottom of the canyon
into the Colorado River. |
