The final cascades of the Amen drainage: barely 150 meters of technical canyon but 200 meters of vertical drop, reached by a 986 meter approach hike. One 30 meter rappel anchors the descent, run June through September.

This is the lower, standalone stretch of a larger Amen system, hence Final in the name; this batch carries no separate entry for the upper reaches. The approach hike, nearly a kilometer, is longer than the technical canyon itself, and the shuttle is optional.
