Trail Notes White Rock Canyon is a strikingly beautiful volcanic area. Hike down a spectacular volcanic canyon to the Colorado River below Hoover Dam and relax in a pleasant hot spring in a nearby side canyon. The route runs down a deep, narrow, geologically interesting canyon for 2.75 miles to the Colorado River, turns to run downstream for 0.5 miles to the next major canyon, then ascends that canyon for about 5 minutes to a 20-ft waterfall and a ladder. Climbing the ladder brings hikers to the hot springs: two thigh-deep pools in the deep, narrow canyon. This canyon gets its name from many huge white boulders that were carried down the canyon from Wilson Ridge by flash floods.
