As promised, I am adding some pics the last four and comments to this hikeFollow Ryan's two pieces of advice: 1 zigzag your way down, trying to find the most comfortable class 3 route and 2 take your timeUnless I goofed and didn't choose the right path towards the end of the way down, which is quite possible, there is one section however – about 40 feet long – which is definitely class 4 At some point, looking down, I couldn't see the rocks below see picture called "Class 4 part" I had to climb down using a crack a...

Ran 2/28/25, comments here were helpful Long hike with great views We only seen one pair of footprints in front of us and no real worn social trail after the tunnel so the map was helpful All four anchors were good with webbing A couple were set up with rope but someone also backed up with webbing so looks a little messy but fine After the third rappel go left to a big square boulder for the final No need to go down the crack, I went a ways down and encountered a small pool and a tricky little stem back up after no...

Burro Wash is a great technical canyon in Capitol Reef The approach is lengthy, requiring either a long car shuttle or a bit of a grunt up the reef This description takes the grunt up the reef approach and requires no car shuttle The canyon is not particularly technical, making it a good choice for all abilities All-in-all, this is just a lovely day out in Capitol Reef Expect big views, and a few great slot sections Note: If you are not a technical canyoneer, hiking up Burro from the bottom provides a pleasant and ...

If there is one adventurous hike to do in the Cederberg Wilderness Area, this is it! Very popular, and for good reason, this is a hike with an adventurous feel and is a lot of fun Many people just do the Wolfberg Cracks I would recommend adding the additional miles to see Wolfberg Arch as well Once up the cracks, the hiking along the top to the arch is easy and very stunning This is an amazing hike that is do-able most any time The steep part of the hike is in the shade much of the day, making it approachable even ...

It is no wonder they built a rest stop and view area on the rim of Eagle Canyon From the rim, it is deep, sheer walled, and dramatic This is a canyon that is impressive from the rim, but even more impressive to actually hike down into and visit up close My first visit to Eagle, in about 2005, was a full loop from the Rest Area down Eagle, up Forgotten, and back to a waiting car near the I-70 bridge over the middle part of the canyon This always stuck in my memory as a good day, but a bit of a slog Although a bit of...

Neon Canyon May 29, 2025Our 2 person party started at exactly 7:00 am as a reference, I am 62 and my wife is 60 We are intermediate canyoneers and strong hikers We could see the dome far in the eastern distance A well marked trail of cairns took us down a steep decline of slickrock approx 500 ft elevation loss to the sign, soft sand and down desert trails for 90 minutes until we reached the Escalante River I must say that there is not much more of a beautiful sight than the bright green leaves of a grove of cotton...

"Again the canyon opens allowing exits The next section starts with the canyon making a hard right, and dropping These drops can be bypassed easily by climbing down the boulders on the left Continue through this slot section to where it opens The next section is the final section of slot, and contains the swim Suit up before entering the slot, there is not much room once you enter the slot Right before the first water, most will likely need to stem 4 m 14 ft above a constriction, then back down to the canyon fl...
