DURING A WX BRIEFING BEFORE TAKEOFF, THE PLT WAS ADVISED THAT VFR FLT WAS NOT RECOMMENDED. ABOUT 12 TO 15 MIN AFTER TAKEOFF, HE WAS FORCED TO DESCEND TO MAINTAIN VISUAL CONTACT. HE DEVIATED SOUTH TO AVOID A RAIN SHOWER. SUBSEQUENTLY, THE PLT REALIZED HE HAD FLOWN INTO A BOXED CANYON WITHOUT ENOUGH CLEARANCE TO REVERSE COURSE. HE THEREFORE ELECTED TO CLIMB IN INSTRUMENT CONDITIONS TO CLEAR THE HILLS. WHILE CLIMBING, THE ACFT STRUCK THE TOPS OF TREES, THEN CRASHED.
