Maple Canyon: Pipeline
Overall:
This is a super cool wall where almost all the walls pull a wavy roof feature. The climbs for kids but you’ll be entertained here alld ay.
Routes:
We aren’t interested in duplicating effort, so you can find information about this area at…
Maple Canyon Guide book Pg. 161-166. (The link is to a site where you can purchase the book. Really, if you are going to Maple, you should have it.)
Approach:
Time
The approach is not right next to the road, but close. With kids as young as two years old it should not take you more than 5 minutes. Its just before Billy the Kid Wall.
Difficulty
Flat groomed trail.
Danger
Not really dangerous, but a few years back our then two year old did stumble at the beginning of the hike. She tumbled down a hill that could have potentially hurt her pretty bad. She was fine, but a little shaken up. You see those videos of miraculous dad saves on YouTube. That wasn’t me. I would say, not dangerous, but hold the littles hands at the beginning.
Landing:
Great.
Traffic:
It is well trafficked but there are lots of routes available so you aren’t likely to have a problem.
Extra Kid Fun:
None in particular but you do cross a bridge on the way there.
Potential Dangers:
Just potential for some stumbles.
