I am confused by the directions to access this site You drive 113 miles on Johnson Canyon Road, correct What is Glen Canyon National Monument I know Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, but that is dozens of miles to the east Maybe Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument

Completed on February 16th, 2020 and the 2nd rap was snow/ice free Rangers told us someone had fallen at this point while being belayed out to the anchor and was badly hurt She was able to complete the canyon and is okay There is no place to add additional protection while traversing to the anchors Belaying is a good idea, but you can still get seriously hurt from a huge swingGood news is you can check the condition of the 2nd anchor before committing See my photo for what to look for from the topSuper fun canyon -...

#Bull Frogs May 20, 2025 Heavy rain two days earlier, so the bull frogs were out in force croaking Group of 4 Lots of water, especially lower in the canyon All in our 50's with 2 noobies, so we took our time 14 hours, 35 to the pass, and 105 to run the canyon Lush and green, and wet, but not too cold Hundreds of frogs croaking was cool, but with the echos, after a while got a little overwhelming First guy took a swim on #7, but the rest were dry until the last Stay high on #8 to pull your line before dropping down ...

A few thoughts: first, where we be if there weren't stream gauges Second, SW streams are often more sediment transport mechanisms than sources of cool, clear potable water Those sediments are always changing the stream channel, and that affects the ability for gauges to report accurately Periodically folks go out and directly measure flow at the gauge site and update the equations that relate water depth to flow rate if/as necessary So it's actually very cool that the data changes; it means someone's actually maint...
