If you enjoy swimming, downclimbing, narrows, rappelling and a long day this might be the route for you. Neon Canyon requires complete technical gear. A GPS is useful. Good map reading skills are essential. Navigation for this route is moderate. Neon Canyon is rated 3B R IV using the Canyon Rating System. Please do not place bolts in this canyon. Neon has often been at the center of the so called "Bolt War", where bolts are repeatedly placed and chopped. This canyon is easy to descend using only natural features. Hundreds of canyoneers before you have descended this canyon without using or placing bolts, so please play fair. You might need to locate and construct natural anchors, which is considered part of the adventure and charm of canyoneering.
The trailhead is accessible to all high clearance 2 wheel drive vehicles in normal weather conditions. A vehicle shuttle is not required for this route.
