Yankee Doodle is best described as short and sweet. Total time required form trailhead to trailhead is approximately 2 hours. Yankee Doodle requires complete technical gear. The scenery is spectacular. Yankee Doodle is rated 3B I using the Canyon Rating System. Navigation for this route is easy. The route is located outside of Zion National Park and a backcountry permit is not required. There are no bolted anchors in this canyon, let's preserve this feature. Many canyoneers before you have descended this canyon without placing bolts, so please play fair. You might need to locate and construct natural anchors, which should be considered part of the game. Instead of placing bolts might I suggest teamwork and partner assisted techniques. The problem solving involved with using natural anchors and teamwork is considered to be a major part of the adventure with this route.
A vehicle shuttle is not required to complete this route. Any vehicle should be able to access this trailhead in good weather conditions. There is reasonable camping in the area.
