"Wetsuit required in cooler temps" What do you think qualifies as cooler temps Was considering this canyon in ~80 deg weather in a week or two, unsure if I need a wetsuit or not Great site btw!
Munra Creek has reopened since the Eagle Creek fire, but it's not what it was Very overgrown with briars Use extreme caution and be prepared for loose rocks, landslides, fallen trees, debris, and more Munra has been the site of several rescues; don't be one of them See http://ropewikicom/Munra_Creek for the most up-to-date information
Yes, those are not on the site by design The park service had requested they not be published quite a few years ago to minimize impacts There was talk of closing the FF to all but ranger led tours at one point I have respected their stance and purposefully not posted info in the hopes they will continue to stay open Even with a GPS, there is some tricky route finding in there Good job finding them!
I just joined I put that sign there Kara5465 I live in the house just below All who read this please listen These types of sites do not do this land any good Instead of sending money to this site send it to the many conservation groups working on this issue We do not need more people to know about these sites Lets see how long my post last Robert Weinick 435-826-4573 if you have any questions
Cedar Mountain, just north of the San Rafael Swell, is one of the must do overlooks for San Rafael aficionados The mountain is an uplift of conglomerate and sandstone rock that offers some of the best views in the area From the viewpoint on top, much of the northern San Rafael Swell is visible, as well as such prominent San Rafael Swell features as Window Blind Peak and Mexican Mountain Off in the distance, on a cloudless day, the La Sal Mountains about 90 miles away and the Henry Mountains about 70 miles away are ...
First of all: Ryan, great job This site is awesome We family of four did the Blarney-Loop RF up and LF down today in 5 hours because of taking a ton of pictures The whole canyon is bone dry Like Tucker said: At the second rappel is no webbing, but it is a easy downclimb, so you dont need a webbing The shortcut between the 2 canyons is very easy No climbing skills are needed A really big fun
Honestly just paying attention in the last 1/3rd of the float would be best The bend in the river this rock is after kind of sneaks up on you but half the group missed it The boat who flipped in our group count not touch the bottom, but also some simple, pointed paddling at that rock with get you around it Also, I could catch myself on the rock with my feet and push myself back to get my boat free
Since I posted below, I have confirmed there is a bypass on the left There are pictures of it on another site But it is very, very sketchy in my mind We all have different risk tolerances There looks to be a bypass on the right that is potentially less sketchy that goes down a steep side wash, but I have not actually gone that route so I cannot confirm I saw It from the other side of the canyon Other People have commented on it below
Did Mystery on 7/2/18 Just a few quick notes We encountered a few rattlesnakes on the hike in so be mindful during your hiking Also, the group right after us stuck their rope on the last one NOT the second to last one One of our group was able to ascend and free the rope for them Another group got their rope stuck the next day on the second to last rap and had sleepover in the canyon Moral of the storymind your ropes and check your pull before the last one descends
Anchors still look good on this route, water level is low right now so first two potholes were completely dry, the final one before the first rappel is still a swimmer but we were able to leap to the ledge on the right side and not get wet! Lots of poison ivy at the bottom of 2nd rap Did a double rope rappel for 2nd rap but one 70m dynamic climbing rope gets you to the bottom with rope to spareGet a free arches permit before you go https://archespermitsnpsgov/
