@chumley
Are there any requirement for going to that canyon, asking for a friend?

If you can't find it, you can't go.....

I camped at Dick Creek on Mount Rainier a few years ago. That was just regular ol' Dick Creek, not the big version...

and yet Chums knowing about this canyon comes as no surprise.

@Alston_Neal
Totally depends who it is. I'm sure it could come as a surprise in the right circumstance.

You do realize my comment comes from the deep reverence of your vast knowledge.

It is something to aspire to.

Big Dick Canyon, Kofa Mountains.
Edit: I did not see Chumley's post. I will have to go on a quest to find an equally amusing name to redeem myself.

I hear there is a certain energy to that canyon.

@JakeG
I've been there, and there is another one nearby in Utah near the Paria Canyon Wilderness.

@RedRoxx44
I would certainly hope that they come in pairs. :-)

I know this isn't in Arizona, but some day I'd like to traverse Swinging Dick Gap in North Carolina.

@rcorfman you should freehike it to really drive the point home
