In 1986, the Moab Chamber of Commerce held a contest to find the most scenic dump in America When it was all said and done, the contest ended in a tie between Moab, Utah and Kodiak, Alaska having the most scenic dump So, it is a must see, and the reason it is on the site, right! Not being a connoisseur of city dumps, I am not qualified to say whether the dump proper is worth visiting or not I can say, however, that the cliff band just outside of the dump is well worth a short hike and visit to see fairly good petro...

If there is a more idyllic hot spring in Nevada than Hot Creek, I have yet to visit it! The hot springs are only about 85 degrees Fahrenheit, so possibly not a good place to visit in the dead of winter, but excellent in spring, fall, and summer This peaceful place, in the wide open White River Valley, is a gem Hot Creek Springs and Marsh was designated a National Landmark in 1972 The hot springs, besides having a lovely boulder lined pool area we humans enjoy, are also home to the Moorman White River Springfish tha...

Just did High Spur on 91721 Long day with a new canyoneer Easy to lower and then downclimb all the drops till the last big rappell The biggest wild card was lots of mud and water despite not major recent rains in the last couple weeks There was clearly a large flash flood sometime late summer The pool after the first drop was probably over 6 feet deep, I couldn't touch at 5' 10" and had to swim Lots of very deep mud, and in the corkscrew numerous thigh to waiste high sections, large debris piles, and very stagnant ...

Near Crystal Springs, Nevada sits Crystal Wash, the site of a fairly extensive rock art site The main area on the east side of Crystal Wash is thought to have been a winter habitation site for the Pahranagats, similar to the nearby Ash Springs Rock Art Site The west side has rock art as well, but does not appear to have been inhabited like the east side Crystal Wash is composed of large granite outcroppings and boulders Rock art is scattered throughout the outcroppin...

#conditionsMay 1 2026Decided to not have to deal with the Burr Point hike or driving down the Poison Springs road and instead did this as a bikepacking overnighter The road is in good shape, no issues as described in 2024 and 2025 Pretty dog for biking tbh, lots of boulders and sand, but doable Annoyingly though, at the end of the black dump road, not only is the rest of it closed to vehicles, we were surprised to see it has a no bikes sign as well Couldn't find any mention of this online anywhere

Actually, the coordinates are on a couple of other sites as well, Though vandalism is a concern, the info I can find from BLM and USFS is that vandalism is very infrequent and typically on easy to access sites along popular roads My hope is sharing amazing places with spark awareness and passion for preserving theses sites

I'm seeking a shuttle with my medium sized dog well mannerered Got my kayak in a backpack To answer your question, the rim is very pleasant right now and quiet with available campsites everywhere Sites here are not really designed for big trailers though Plenty of sites at the takeout and bugs do not seem to be a problem anywhere I'm camping in the canyon just off the road and there are sites available there too right now Wish I had camped at The rim at the wedge If you think you can fit one more person please emai...

Warning:Right Leprechaun - the gps coords for the"trailhead" are wrong!The description is correctThe first rappel is here380369131, -1105187370Which is immediately off the rock and into the dirtIf you follow the gps given you will get here380363219, -1105188091And is every bit of a 75' rappelHow do I knowWe only brought 130' of rope since this was the biggest really if the canyon, and didn't bring any other pull cord,Luckily, we rigged a contingency for the gf's rap as I had to lower her down her second canyon, fr...

We had no trouble finding the arch with these instructions We brought a 200' rope which was too short to do the simul rappel There was a pine at the top of the arch that we used as a natural anchor We trusted it, however we also had someone act as a meat anchor just in case We had our own webbing and did the 115' single strand with our rope we could have easily done the 85' double stranded too The hike to the top of the arch isn't difficult, but it is strenuous especially if it's hot It was super easy to hike to th...

did it yesterday I don't know if I would call it class 4 scrambling but then again yeah maybe Someone had extended the webbing from the deadman anchor shelf with a single run of new webbing and placed new webbing on a lot of the other raps The webbing for the deadman itself was faded and pretty old - definitely from last season at least, but looked sound enough We trusted it and survived anyway Rap 6 is now a deadman as well with a single older piece of buried webbing, and backed up with the new webbing to a n...
