Hike #18 - Headdress Canyon, Superstition Mountains, AZ
Headdress is a short but fun canyon with 3 rapels in the Superstition Wilderness rated 3BII. Finding the drop in place took a considerable amount of route finding at first but we were soon on our way. The first rapel was approx. 36' down rapelling from a chock stone into a pool of water, followed by a 15' rapel, followed by a final 65' rapel that goes down a chute into an alcove. Our total time was approx. 3 hours with 3 people. After this canyon, our leader Jeff took us to Zig Zag which was amazing and not far away.
