With Colin. Took 3 hours of moving time with about an hour of breaks.

Super fun. Just went out to see the top of Moonflower and back. The Stairmaster trail keeps you a bit away from the vroom vrooms.

CFS - 7,500. Started at noon and took about 5 hours. The water was actually quite warm, perhaps ~60˚F. Excellent time for a few beginners like us and my Nova dog. Nova went for a swim when I hit an unseen rock. She swam to shore just fine in her beefy PFD.

First second-trip in a canyon! :P After work weekday rush-job. Beautiful views of the snow-dusted La Sals. Unfortunately ran out of light by the final epic rappel around 7 PM. All anchors are in good shape.

Actually took as long as Ryan says it does! ;) The views of the Behind-the-Rocks and La Sals are incredible. Easy hike in; huge payoff. A tiny pool of water that was completely avoidable after the storm last weekend.

Had a wonderful experience. Would have taken us about 8 hours round trip (2 people, perhaps with 2 out of 4 levels of experience) with the Orderville exit (and beginning with a bicycle shuttle: highly recommended) had we not caught a ride in a truck bed from some friendly fellow canyoneers. Entered the canyon via an ATV road (Engelstead Hollow) just south of the standard TH, which was a gradual descent to the first rappel, until a scree-filled slide down at the end. There is a social trail forming to guide canyoneers down. - Added a backup anchor on the tree for the long rappel. - Encountered a small knee-deep pothole after the final rappel. It is avoidable with a handline (probably) but I slipped in anyway. :) Otherwise, the canyon is dry. - Walls on the third-to-last rappel (or so) are slick like glass despite being dry. Take care on the rappel to keep perpendicular.

More rappels than listed here

The scramble up to the stone circles are worth it!

Guided by a friend who had experienced this canyon a couple prior times. It was an amazing marathon of a canyon.

Planned a solo trip but met an impromptu canyon buddy at the trailhead. Easy canyoneering with huge payoff!

Went left off the rim, I don't recommend it. :-S

Easy and short trip with beautiful views and a very exciting final rappel. I did a few of the short raps with a hand line and a Prusik hitch backup.

First-ever canyoneering adventure with Westminster College outdoor program. Memorable, to say the least! I believe we did West Fork.
