Welcome to Lower Dillinger Canyon — affectionately known as Half Dilly — one of the most fun, efficient routes in the Bear Mountain circuit.
Along with experienced canyoneers, Jennifer, JJ and our pal @JerryArizona this short but sweet adventure kicks off with a mild, off trail scenic approach from the Fay Canyon Trail up to the the 1st bench of Bear Mountain, and dives straight into the good stuff. Expect beautiful sandstone features, 4 rappels with a long, 170' free-hanging rappel finale.
Arguably the best bang for your buck in this area for a morning adventure, Half Dilly is perfect for canyoneers looking for a fast, satisfying outing with minimal slog and maximum payoff.
