This hike is at the Bangs Canyon Trailhead. You can go to the Mica Mine one way and Rough Canyon the other. Rough Canyon has some drop offs and places you need to pay attention to in the first mile. Then there is a mile or so of rock jumble where you need to do some route finding. The first mile is trail and then it is ... well rough as the name implies. At the end is a waterfall that is only active after a rain. Today there were pools but no running water. Most of this hike is in a deep canyon with high rock walls on both sides. Lots of shade. It reminded me of Zion some. The main difference would be that at Zion there are hundreds of people getting off busses that arrive every 5 minutes. Here I saw two people total on the five mile hike and it was a Saturday!
