Right East fork on 4/10/23 as 2 adults and 2 10 year old girls Super fun Some potholes with water higher up that we avoided by traversing around high on the right One pothole lower down that was avoidable by stemming for the adults but not for kids so we ferried them across and water was chest deep Beautiful and great!

#conditions My party of 5 did this canyon 3/23/25 The scenery of this canyon is truly something special, the canyon itself and the surroundings are just incredible All the anchors are currently fine always inspect them yourself as things can change and the canyon is completely dry The narrow sections were super fun and had some fun down climbing as well I would recommend this to anyone that wants a fun, easier half day and escape the crowds

#conditions The road was in super rough shape today! Lots of snow and mud Be sure you have 4x4 when coming in the spring The main cave was closed for the bats, but we explored the other tunnels Unfortunately, they also had some slumbering bats too so we didn't really get to explore that much, but it was still fun I definitely would recommend coming in the summer or fall

Our large crew of mixed skillz did ZG about 9/17/21 No wetsuits needed The "keeper pothole" was sanded in and w only small amount of water No issues at all Good day Easy fun canyon We rap'd the last "downclimb" into terminal grotto/pool- No way we'd climb that sucker Approach trail and exit super easy

As of July 12 2022 water level is at a fun level, not super low but not very high in my personal opinion Make sure you still evaluate for your group Major concern was hypothermia, even when it was a 105 in Moab, setting up the 3rd rappel we all got chilly and had to move quickly since it is shaded and you're soaking wet Stinging nettle and poison ivy on the approach

A relatively short hike from the trailhead, this is a good family friendly leg-stretching hike that will give a good, albeit brief, introduction to the Ruby Mountains Though relatively short, the hike offers big views of Lamoille Canyon and has several smaller lakes to pass en route This is a popular destination for fisherman, so be sure to bring your rod and reel if you are inclined This also makes a great short overnighter for families

A continuation of the Lamoille Lake hike, Liberty Lake offers a bit of a gateway to the heart of the Ruby Mountains A day hike is worth doing, but if you have time, I would highly recommend staying a night or two at Liberty Lake and using it as a springboard to Favre Lake, Wines Peak, and Furlong Lake as day hikes from a base camp at Liberty Lake Note: Liberty Lake itself offers only a few primitive campsites and is relatively confined You may need to continue on to Favre Lake during busy times to find better campi...

Secret Lake, or Cecret Lake as it is also known, is one of the premier wildflower hikes in Little Cottonwood The hike is short, family-friendly, and usually bursting with color during wildflower season At about a mile round trip, this is a hike even young children can likely do part or most of and have a good time Older children will love clambering around on the small boulders that line the trail The lake is situated at the base of Sugarloaf Peak and Devils Castle, which provide a stunning background to its crysta...

Catherine Pass, allowing easy passage between Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons, is a stunning wildflower hike In many ways, I like this hike better than Secret Lake Because the hike is on the north side of the canyon, it has views of the south ridge of Little Cottonwood, and I would argue more dramatic scenery than Secret Lake In addition, wildflowers, grassy meadows, and views into Big Cottonwood Canyon from the pass make this an excellent outing The distance and elevation gain make this a good shorter hike Those...

Did the loop 7/4 right after it flashed the night before Super fun with a few challenging obstacles going up right fork, lots of water up to almost waist deep descending left fork Highly recommended when full of water as full as it gets, that is
