10/10/2023 0 Comments Tortilla flat trailHike south on FR213 from the trailhead (few will have a vehicle capable of driving this road) for one mile, then work your way down into the canyon below on the right (west) through a minor cliff band and a steep, rocky slope.Īfter a little under one mile of boulder hopping in the canyon, there are a few vertical challenges in the middle section that can either be downclimbed or rappelled, to taste. The starting point is from Tortilla Trailhead which is about one mile after SR88 turns to dirt if driving east. I have not completed this route, but it appears to be off-trail, rugged and requires good navigation skills if you wish to attempt it. An egress route can be found after the middle section opens up, on the north side of the canyon after some prominent, jagged rock spires and is described here. I have drawn a long track on the map that connects the middle and lower sections of Tortilla Creek and Peters Canyon together in a long loop since that's what I did (2-3 day trip), but other options are available. There isn't much in the way of narrows here, but a few sections of sculpted rock and pools make for some nice scenery. The middle section of Tortilla Creek is big and scenic with a few vertical challenges that you may or may not decide to solve with technical gear - though I think most will prefer to rappel in a spot or two.
