I turned around here, having already numbed my feet by wading though a 40' long pool of icy waist-deep water like this just 100 yards earlier. The walls were only about 4 feet apart and completely blocked out the sky. The uneven bottom of the pool underwater was coated with about 4" of slimy mud. I might have ventured futher had I not left my neoprene waders back with Daniel. Exploring the rest of the canyon will have to wait for another trip.
