Aravaipa Canyon- what end is best?

[uintahiker]

Looking at doing a backpacking trip through Aravaipa Canyon. Anyone done it? I'm wondering what end is best to start from and what side canyons are recommended.

I'm leaning toward starting from the east end and hitting up HellHole Canyon on the way through.

Any info would be great. I'll post a TR after I do it.

mattvogt7 has done it. Check out his trip report here:

He isn't on here frequently, so I'd shoot him a PM alerting him of this thread if I were you.

Anyone else done it? It looks awesome.

Bump- Any recommendations? I've made my reservations for the east end in May. Should be a great time! Only must see is HellHole/Deer Creek. Open to other suggestions.
