Fallen Angel is my least favorite of the Angel Slots The canyon is short, with quite a bit of crumbly rock and somewhat light anchors There were no recent signs of passage on our descent, and several anchors required placement or replacement Because of this, it is probably best left for intermediate or better canyoneers with decent natural anchor skills Once down the short canyon, the exit hike is marvelous, passing a pictograph and petroglyph panel along the Dirty Devil before climbing an elegant exit route up the...

Shiquan, that’s a bit of a teaser How long was your buddy wedged and stuck Did anybody stay with him while the three of you went for help Who helped and what did they do to unstick him I’d say that from the time you left your buddy, worked your way down however much was left of the slot, hiked back to your car and drove to cell service, waited for a SAR team - which doesn't don’t hang around together waiting for a rescue - and then worked your way back to your buddy would be at LEAST 10 hours The Park Service folks...

Thanks! I really appreciate your website, this thing is sick!

cool trip great website!!

The section described here, from Mexican Hat to Clay Hills, is a 57-mile float through an astonishingly deep and dramatic canyon in remote terrain This is one of the finest floats in Utah and very family-friendly provided you have the skills From a geology and scenery perspective, I liked this more than the section above, Sand Island to Mexican Hat This section is typica...

My apologies I assumed your name from the title of the website Thanks for the advice

Hi and thanks for for your excellent website!! Is it an area for sunrise or sunset Julien

Floated this July 13, 2019 Entered the river at 175 CFS and exited the river at 150 CFS Two weeks ago this river was at about 1000 CFS I watched the USGS website for the San Rafael every day to decide whether or not to float! The high snow pack this year made the trip possible this late in the season The Canoes and Plastic Kayaks scraped the bottom 5-10 times during the 19 miles Had to put my leg out of the back of the canoe 2-3 times and push to get us going again For what its worth, one of our guys turned...

Anyone willing to take a couple newbies Or is there a guide service available We want to get into rafting but don’t know where to start! Thanks Shauntae23@ Hotmailco
