Narrow slot-like gorge cut by Salome Creek through resistant conglomerate and volcanic-derived rock in the Salome Wilderness (Tonto National Forest)—the signature “Jug” constriction of Lower Salome Creek. Reached via Jug Trail #61 from the A-Cross (FR 60) trailhead; a classic central-Arizona geology and canyoneering field destination with towering walls and seasonal water.
