Benson Creek Canyon Trip Reports
July 17, 2021
It was an overcast day when we went down Benson Creek and it even sprinkled on us a bit. Overall, the temperature was great and the water was refreshing in July. The approach was simple and only had one steep section that made us breathe a little harder. We got wet from the waist down, but dried off on the 15ish minute hike back to the car. We had two brand new beginners with us in our group of 6 and we made it took us less than 3 hours from car to car. We did not bring wetsuits and all four anchors were in good shape. At the bottom of the third rappel we noticed bolts for a climbing route. It looked pretty cool.
October 31, 2020
What a surprising adventure! We expected fun rappels, but we did not expect all of the ice that we encountered. We decided that is was still safe to descend and we were glad we did. We descended with no wetsuits and we were fine. It was cold though, so if you are planning on spending more than 45 minutes in the canyon and in the cold running water and ice, you might want a wetsuit. Aside from the ice, the water was flowing as well, adding to the chill. Anchors were all in good condition.
October 17, 2020
It was a perfect fall day to run this canyon. We tried to find the approach that goes directly up the scree field gully on the South side of the canyon that is mentioned in other beta sites, but it was so overgrown we could not locate it and decided to not on that route. Instead, we went around the South side of the rock ridge just as mentioned in this beta. We did NOT need wetsuits because we moved through pretty quickly. The water was running and it was cold though. All anchors were in good shape. We added another piece of webbing around the tree as a backup because it was hard to tell how long the rope that was providing an anchor, was there for. All the rappels are pretty much back to back. There were 3 of us and ended up taking us 3 hours even after our small detour trying to find the gully approach. Great short canyon that would be a refreshing blast during the summer.
