Upper Black Dragon Wash - Central Swell
Date: 06/11/2022
A heavily traveled roadside attraction in which all obstacles are easily avoided. Would be perfect with fresh water and the want to take a dip in between traveling along the highway. Otherwise avoid if looking for an objective canyoneering day.

Upper Three Fingers Canyon - San Rafael Swell
Date: 06/11/2022
Medium approach with obvious features to assist with navigation. 30m rope used for all decents. Easy escapes if needing to bail midway through the canyon. Rope became stuck at the first major rappel (Beware).

Hyde Draw - Central Swell

Approached right from camp. Rappels were straight forward but bring extra webbing to rig and reinforce. Worth a second go.

Egypt 3 Canyon - Escalante
Date: 06/11/2021
Nice non-technical canyon additional section is not worth the travel unless you are combining with Egypt 2. Not worth the repeat

Micro Death Hollow - Escalante
Date: 06/11/2021
Camping is great right next to the approach. Standard long rappel is off a tree near the edge and chose to avoid. The pothole descent was occupied by a guided party and seemed involved. We chose a fix a rappel using weird small bushes backed up by large rock and lower into the canyon. Short but sweet with a 3rd class exit requiring some navigation skills.

Upper Calf Creek Falls - Escalante
Date: 06/11/2021
Perfect way to break up the drive to the Escalante. A great rock jump into a refreshing pool. Bring water as it is a hot hike.

Ding and Dang Canyons - San Rafael Swell
Date: 06/01/2020
Perfect non-technical canyon for adventurous scramblers. Rope is optional depending on the groups ability. Nice link up.

Baptist Draw - Southern Swell
Date: 06/01/2020
Long approach for a sweet canyon. Long rappel which is best completed by lowering people in the party to ensure rope is the correct length. Easy obstacles once in the canyon.

Lower Eardley Canyon - San Rafael Swell
Date: 06/01/2020
Completed the short approach. 4th class downclimb was manageable with 2 novice teenage boys. Good rappel anchors but lots of transitions.

Zero G Canyon - San Rafael Swell

30m rope for final rappel. All other sections easily downclimbed. Very small pack useful. Completed in 2020, 2021, 2022
