The "Jug" is a popular technical canyon North of Roosevelt Lake in the Salome Wilderness. This was our second trip down the canyon and the water levels were on the lower side in June 2015. We did not need a wet suit and the cool water was quite refreshing. The single rappel requires a 100' rope. There is a significant amount of boulder hopping and water slides along the 3 mile route. The hike into the canyon is approx. 2 miles. We were able to help a family of (4) that had come from Flagstaff get safely down the last waterfall/rappel. They had brought rope but not harnesses.
