Summary:
Narrow canyon with relatively small drops, but high flow. Good to combine with Emerald Canyon (an affluent that comes in just a bit before this one starts)

Summary:
Narrow canyon with relatively small drops, but high flow. Good to combine with Emerald Canyon (an affluent that comes in just a bit before this one starts)

Access:

Approach (30 min):
Ideally done in combination with Emerald canyon. If water level too high for Ghost Axe, it's possible to go out after Emerald (or enter on that same path for doing only ghost axe).
Tour (2 h):
Some slabs that can be tricky, but otherwise not too many difficulties.
Return (30 min):
About 30min of walking, unfortunately the hot springs got destroyed by a typhoon.
Hydrology:
Quite big catchment area, but due to the small drops, it's often possible to go down more or less in the water.
