There is no trail down Palisade Canyon.
To descend Palisade Canyon top to bottom is a serious canyoneering
enterprise involving ropes and big rappels.
There is a Palisade Trail, which mostly goes down the ridge between
Palisade and Pine Canyon, even dropping into Pine Canyon.
Palisade Canyon -- Hiking
It is possible to do a loop down Spencer Canyon and up Palisade (or vice-versa)
without getting involved in any technical canyoneering.
Palisade Canyon -- Canyoneering
See the book by Todd Martin. This is not to be trifled with.
Going top to bottom as a complete tour might be more than a person could
do in a day unless they were strong, fast, and in shape, and maybe not
even then.
Have any comments? Questions?
Drop me a line!
