Looking at some loop options, but my limited library does not provide the answer. Kelsey typically takes a little deciphering, but seems to be especially confusing regarding this area. Hence this post!

I am pretty sure Horseshoe below the Great Gallery goes to the river without any hang ups, so to speak. But are there any of the many forks above that allow a non tech passage from Hans Flat down?

I am especially interested in the 3 canyon systems marked on the map below. If I am reading Kelsey correct, 1 is Horseshoe proper, 2 Spur Fork and 3 High Spur.

2 is Spur Fork and 3 is Moqui Fork. There is a small dryfall where Moqui Fork meets Spur Fork, but it's easily (non-technical) bypassable either left or right. Other than that, Moqui Fork and Spur Fork would be an easy (albeit sandy) walk into the main fork of Horseshoe.
