First few rappels are unnecessary. Took 4.5 hours with 11 people. Fun for beginners.

Long and one of the hardest canyons. Lots of water and cold.

Long day, amazing scenery after the confluence. Incredibly hard exit hike. Took 10.5 hours - would have finished sooner but Dave was feeling sick. Pack enough water.

Quite chilly, even on a nice day. Took about 3.5 hours from trailhead to Orderville Junction. A few extra rappels that weren't in the beta.

Long day but so much fun. Tons of water and awesome canyon.

With 12 Young Men and 3 more adults. Big group. About 2 feet of snow.

With the friends and kids

With the golds

very dry

Really fun-should definitely do this again.

Rappels just okay. Slot was tight.

Hike

Took a wrong turn right at the beginning, so spent 2-3 hours on the wrong trail. Once we found the right one it was fairly simple. Fun canyon.

With the Golds

So much fun. Need to do it again!

Went back to retrieve the rope. Took 2 of us about 2 hours total.

Got a late start and moving slow with a couple of young kids. Then got a stuck rope on rap 2. Left rope behind and hiked completed last 2 raps in complete darkness (Not recommended). Still fun.

Long approach, long exit, lots of loose sand. But the final rappel makes it all worth it.

Great beginner canyon.

Gnarly approach, some sketchy dead-man anchors. But unique and fun.

First trip with Christian
