James Canyon is a deep, mostly cliff-lined ravine near Sedona, Arizona; a tributary of Pumphouse Wash (itself a branch of Oak Creek Canyon), 2 miles in length, containing falls, pools and sections of slot canyon narrows. Most obstacles can be bypassed, by climbing up and down the enclosing slopes, otherwise exploration requires swimming and rappelling. The canyon is entered from exit 331 of Interstate 17, reached by a short walk through the open pine forest
