2015 Hike #51 - Seven Cataracts, Mount Lemmon, Tucson, AZ
Seven Cataracts is an intermediate canyon with several waterfalls and approx. 7 rappels. Paul and I did this canyon in October. There was plenty of water but we did not need our wet suits. It took us awhile to find the best place to descend into Willow Canyon from Windy Point Vista on Mount Lemmon. Once we reached the bottom, we scrambled over boulders until we reached the first rap. Some of the rappels were more technical than I was expecting but we managed to safely get through the canyon with no issues. We exited the canyon by following a trail around the mountain that ended with a VERY steep climb up Bear Canyon to the Seven Cataracts overlook. Since our car was back at Windy Point Vista, we caught a ride with some other canyoneers that exited the same time we did.
