Visited the three mile site at Gunlock today. This site is 3 miles into the park from the South end. You will come to a cliff wall with a pull out - park there and walk around the cliff to the trail. Once at the top look for foot prints going right and you will find the rock art and probably about a dozen pit houses. The art is scattered all along the rim but there is one news paper rock that is full of art.Art and Pit houses:  37°13'5.88"N 113°46'33.60"WNewspaper Rock:  37°13'...

Great canyon on brown Friday/Thanksgiving weekend! A good amount of sliding/grinding on down climbs at the first part of the narrow section of the canyon so if you don't want to shred clothing, pick another canyon If you want to avoid the pothole near the last repel, there is an anchor and webbing around a bush up on the left side Last anchor was sketchy and, as mentioned previously, there's not a lot of rocks around to build a deadman to backup the wedged anchor that had single strand of daisy-chained webbing W...

Group of 2 ran this on 11/24R1: Straightforward as others have describedR2: There was a cairn anchor built in the center of the canyon just above the rappel--the way this is built does not inspire confidence and should probably be removed The bolted anchor is very nonobviousR3: One group member was able to find a line to downclimb this pretty easily The natural anchor LDC off a vertical arch/pocket is solid If used, the low-angle rappel from here was about 50'R4: Webbing and bolts were in good shape at the LDC anch...

NOTE: Both Danger and Jukebox Caves are gated and locked You can visit the outside of them, and look in through the gate, but can't go inside without being on a tour The site is owned and managed by Utah State Parks as a monument, and tours are by arrangement with a third-party I can't speak highly enough for the guided tour! It was incredibly informative and by far the best way to visit and learn about the caves As of 2024, you can find information on future caves tours here: https://metcalfarchaeologycom/danger-c...

All anchors and webbing in Hog 4 Miss Piggy were good as of 6/2/19 Look for the small pile of rocks to the right of the solar panel that marks the start of the higher up trail to the canyons, the trail that heads down looks well trodden but will lead you astray Hog 4 starts with a couple of down climbs that are best with some partner spotting, and then opens up to a series of fun drops Our group would recommend bringing at least 200ft of rope due to some spots and drops that didn't jump out as obvious in the beta T...

Went through Mystery 9/17/19 Started from the East Mesa Trailhead as the trail was closed from the bottom of the canyon Arranged a shuttle with Zion Ponderosa They picked us up from the visitor center and dropped us off at the trailhead We were a group of 5 women Two experienced and three newbies Used the GPS waypoint from this site to locate the mouth of Mystery Canyon and it worked perfectly From there we were able to find a use trail down Death Gully Which BTW was not as scary as I had anticipated The l...

Finally found this site. The climb up was not fun at all for me but that is the way it is. Lots of real nice art as well as pictures of a lot of baskets. Right off Cane Bed Road regular car can make it.Petroglyphs: N36° 58.142' W112° 52.173'Still looking for Ravens Crack in same area let me know if you have location.

#conditions Ran both the Short leg and Long leg of Baptist Draw this weekend with a crew of 5Short Leg: Ran on 11/9 All of the anchors are looking good, the anchors on the big rappel look brand new We encountered a few small pools that we were able to bypass with some determined stemming We did not get wet at all That was the least amount of water I have ever seen on the short leg This took us about 4 hours and 30 minutes to run camp to campLong Leg: Ran on 11/10 There were two pools where you have no choice but to...

Took a trip today South of Parowan Gap to find Black Point Petroglyphs. They are located on the Southern point of the mountain and face Southeast. The art runs along the top of the mesa in the black rock. The climb up is about 50 feet and real easy as there is a pretty good trail. You can access the site from Hwy 130 that intersects I-15 and the road through Parowan Gap. There is a dirt road from 130 that goes straight to the site. I have read where the site is between 4000 and 5000 years...

Well, our weekend we picked for option 1 didn’t work out due to weather and our next window is in early March and now opens the possibility of doing option #2 The tricky part is whether the flow will allow a more hassle free float from the DD airstrip Regardless, I’ve got a couple of questions more questions I’m hoping those of you that have been there can help me withWith either scenario we will need to enter/leave from the east end of the narrows I know it has been hiked by others from that direction My quest...
