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...

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 ...

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 ...

Newspaper Rock, at the entrance to Indian Creek, is a fantastic glimpse into ancient cultures The rock has petroglyphs dating back about 2000 years, to BC times The panel is a mix of Navajo, Anasazi, and Fremont Indian creation, as well as unfortunately a bit of the vandalism of modern manFor the most part, however, they are impeccably preserved and fascinating to visit This short side trip is highly recommended if passing between Monticello and Moab, and easily enjoyed by all It goes without saying, but do not tou...

Tusher Tunnel is an interesting geological feature A crack in the rock has allowed water to seep in until reaching a harder layer in the rock Where it met the harder rock, it eroded a tunnel from one side of the cliff to the other The tunnel length is likely 25 m or more in length, and high enough throughout to easily walk through Tusher Tunnel is a great roadside attraction for all, as the hike from the trailhead with a high clearance vehicle is less than 5 minutes

In 1879, Mormon pioneers answered the call to colonize the southeast corner of Utah Thus began an incredible and legendary journey from Escalante to Bluff The terrain between the two places was inhospitable, rugged, and complex About 2 weeks into their journey, and 65 miles from Escalante, they reached the Colorado River Gorge and a major obstacle To cross the river and continue their journey, they would need to manufacture a road down to the Colorado River through a narrow crack This spot became known as the Hole-...

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...
