Watson Canyon - Torrey
Date: 03/25/2021
Canyon has some nice sections, but isn't terribly inspiring other than being remote. Nice to do, but won't be doing it again.

The Wives - Capitol Reef

Wive 1, rappeled first drop then series of DCs and rappels as described. All dry. Wife 4 the first rap has a spooky start, then clean. Fun scrambling/chimneying below.

Little Death Hollow - Burr Trail
Date: 03/23/2021
While not a technical canyoneering experience, the narrows are beautiful and the route back up Wolverine is punctuated by lots of amazing specimens of Petrified Wood. If you only want something technical then don't come here, but as a non-technical hike/run this is up there with Buckskin Gulch and Little Wildhorse in regards to non-technical slots.

The Great Gallery - Horseshoe Canyon

Nice canyon for an easy hike and really cool Pictographs. Not a technical experience, but good for the family and those wanting something less technical.

Moonshine Wash - San Rafael Desert

Dry down the East Fork, Wet at the slot upclimb, hard to avoid, slot was also wet. Dry above the 40ft upclimb.

Eagle/Forgotten Canyons - Western Swell
Date: 11/15/2019
Canyon was basically dry, potholes empty and clear. Only change to the original description was that as of 11/15/19 there is a small log jam at the head of the 2nd rappel allowing for an easy handline down to the final tier. Beautiful route, really pretty canyon (even if not super technical), total seclusion.
