Great raps and awesome views Bring plenty of webbing A good amount of wading above the waist in October when we went Start was 2WD accessible with some skill There were a few decent campsites near the trailhead I've had luck camping a few miles past the official camp on the road to Horse Thief, which isn't far, but I would bet that gets very crowded on weekends

Note: Flash floods in 2019 have changed the canyon a bit Expect two swims, one below the second waterfall, and one below the third! Not a problem on hot days, but could be unwelcome on cool days Sulphur Creek is not an "official" Captiol Reef trail, but is an official route It is one of the more stunning hikes in the park for those interested in geology This hike has the distinction of hiking through the oldest rock in the park This hike involves qiute a bit of wading If doing it in early spring or late fall, wear ...

Burch Hollow, though it has an official forest trail up it, is seldom visited when compared to the many other trails in Millcreek Canyon Burch Hollow itself is not particularly scenic or outstanding, though the views at the ridge that marks the end of the hike are quite good How do you make a 1 1/2-star hike into a 2 1/2 or 3-star hike Well, make it a loop with a bit of ridge hiking of course! I would not recommend Burch Hollow on its own, but it does make a nice loop when going up Elbow Fork, crossing the ridge, a...

Ring Arch doesn't have an official trail to it, and is less visited compared to more famous arches like Delicate Arch or Landscape Arch Accessing Ring Arch requires a bit of a hike and is a good adventure for those looking for less trodden paths within the park This is a really nice outing to get away from the crowds Though there is not an official trail, it has a very well-worn social trail, so navigation is fairly straightforward The arch is quite stunning and there is a small rock art panel that can be visited a...

Went on 8/8/23 and all potholes were waist deep or less for 99% Single pothole on first official rappel was a swimmer Anchors and down climb webbing were fine; last ring a little worn and last down climb or rappel option was fresh red webbing Water debris normal and no nasties Overall great conditions and loved doing it again

Is the top 10m of the big rappel free-hanging or is it possible to pass a knot Reason I ask is my longest rope is a Imlay 75m 240 feet, so was thinking of extending 10m off the anchor with another rope, which would mean the person rappelling would need to transfer their rappel device across the knot joining the two ropes together I've done it before with a free-hanging rappel it it's pretty fiddly!

It is really confusing to people when a comment references information from other sites Please comment on info from this site, and make comments on other sites beta on their appropriate site I have had a number of people confused by these types of references in the past, in at least one case leading to a near epic Thanks

I put the sign up because of the inability of the BLM to mark the trail properly so visitors would know how to get there without trespassing I have become friends withe new monument manager and SHE told me about the problems that native Americans have with visitors going to this site I put the sign up to get her attention I did This site goes against BLM policy and tells people just how to get there Not just the hundred hands Other panels I am not a local even though I have been here 40 years Don't deface me wi...

Make sure to stop and visit the Golden Spike National Monument which is on the way to the Spiral Jetty  They have a nice visitor center there to peruse, and starting the first Saturday in May, Golden Spike National Historic Site hosts Re-enactments of the Driving of the Last Spike Site ceremony on Saturdays and holidays through the middle of September  Great family activity and fun for the history buffs in the family! 

Though not an official hiking trail, this is one that sees a lot of traffic and for good reason A short jaunt from the parking area lands the intrepid hiker in what feels like the deep Zion backcountry Towering walls and vibrant colors make this a charming hike that is suitable for most The colors come out, in particular, during the evening sunset when the walls pop with color and texture A highly recommended short hike if your in this are of Zion National Park
