The CAC has been working with the Forest Service to develop signage for Seven Teacups Canyon near Kernville in Southern California.
Seven Teacups is a popular route for local canyoneers offering beautiful jumps, rappels, and slides. However, canyon information is sometimes posted on popular news sites (e.g., “Swimming Holes of California”), leading to an influx of inexperienced visitors. In high water during the spring, Teacups can be dangerous and crossing the Kern river to access the canyon can be deadly.
The developed signage promotes canyoneering safety in terms of experience levels, recommended gear, and rescue information.
The sign is complete and has been posted near the Johnsondale Bridge, a popular access point for Seven Teacups.
