This water-filled gorge is a scenic and popular destination for all types of recreation including hikers, kayakers, and canyoneers. The canyon can be hiked without the use of gear but it requires climbing and bypassing a section of the canyon. Climbing down the entire canyon is not too difficult and only requires some downclimbing, lots of swimming and wading, and two short rappels. The water in the gorge is very cold year-round so a wetsuit and dry bag are needed. Rappelling the canyon requires a 1x150' rope, 25' webbing, rappelling device, harness, couple of rap rings, carabiners, and a helmet. There is a lot of very slick rock in the canyon, as well as debris, so wear good shoes and watch your step.

Located north of Roosevelt Lake in the Salome Wilderness Area, this scenic granite slot canyon is a challenging adventure that requires lots of swimming and technical canyoneering skills. The journey down the Jug includes lots of wading, multiple swims, a natural water slide, and a waterfall that can be rappelled down or jumped off of depending on water levels. When water is low there is a glue-in bolt above the falls on canyon right that can be used. When water levels are high another option is to make your way out to a small ledge that leads to another bolt site for rappelling down or a great spot to jump from. The ledge can be very slippery so rigging a safety line may be helpful. Be sure to check for sufficient water levels, possible debris, and any rock ledges that need to be cleared when jumping into the water below. The water can be very cold so wearing a wetsuit is needed, especially during the colder months.
