#conditions last mile of road to observation point trailhead is a bit rutted, but quite doable with good tire placement. In canyon, mostly dry (just a few damp spots and avoidable puddles) until the springs, anchors and webbing in good shape, replaced some webbing that was getting sun faded. traverse rope is getting old, but still present, should probably be replaced soon. group of 4, 8.5 hours car to zion shuttle bus, were not rushing it.

dry for weeks, Nels Jess Jackie Aiden and Tosh (Tosh for Upper only), still quite wet. 11 hours round trip. would be much shorter with experience in the canyon, and if didn't try to keep feet (unsuccessfully) dry.

Fun canyon!! agree it is not a destination, but still fun. We exited prematurely, as our GPS didn't work down in the canyon, and we found an easyish route up on the left in a wider section (about half way through) and thought that to be the exit. Kept a wary eye out for poison ivy, but did not see any, which surprised us. definitely got wet, even in this time of year

dry!! very fun, felt like the canyon beat us up haha

spring break hanksville

ran it with J :)

for such a short unremarkable canyon, it was kinda obnoxious as anchors and starting raps were never straightforward. I don't recommend it for beginners, whom I was with. BYOR for the deadman--the one I found was just a couple softball sized rocks with medical tape trying to hold them together. Thankfully hadn't pulled the rope on the last rap and was able to go back for a real rock

beautiful! bit wet for an A, but not a prob

fall break car camping trip

just west fork. rap starts were more difficult than I remembered, not as beginner friendly

definitely bring wetsuits, had a blast!

Canyoneering II

canyoneering II

awesome!!!

yeah!!! what a slog, but totally worth it, loved it all! a 7am start hike from the car got us great light for the rap. navigation was easy for the prepared, place needs a trail though as it's just destroyed all over with footprints

canyoneering 1!

Not really convinced a rope is needed if everyone is a comfortable 5.8 climber, is comfortable with 20 feet of exposure, is used to slick rock, and has grippy shoes. navigation going from one canyon to the next is not as easy as you'd think, but not difficult either if you don't lose your frame of reference. bring a GPS. make sure you aren't doing quandary
