There was a fatality from a reported rappel anchor failure the weekend of 4/16/22 So far, no clear details have been found that outline what actually happened Based on the limited reports available, one of the three rappel anchors in the canyon might be missing https://grippedcom/news/climber-dies-in-rappelling-accident-in-utah/

For anyone pondering this, the final dryfall on the descent that "yields easily with a spot" does yield easily But if you make a mistake it has serious/potentially fatal consequences We had our large dog along due to the pic showing it was possible, and the thought of working him over that move was terrifying He wanted nothinng to do with it and neither did I High odds that one of us would have taken a 30' or more tumble over a few ledgesThe good news: You can totally bypass that move if you head up the side canyon...

Heard on the news one person died yesterday and 11 were airlifted due to the cold One still missing

There's two or three camp areas at West Fork that could be big enough for your group, depending on how much you want to spread out Not much shade Good news is it'll be cold first week of April and you'll want sunLarry is probably the classic nearby for a big group of beginners with semi-experienced leaders

Great canyon, but i think we need to add a few waypoints to the GPS coordinates to the exit And people stop building random rock cairns! they are everywhere out there after the moki steps we invented our own exit which was a lot easier we went out near the south fork trail head you can stay higher longer The last rappel for us was 115' i gps'd it and marked it on the rope if you try and fold a 200' rope without blocking up top you can get yourself into trouble unless those rocks at the bottom decided to move up the...

A very popular family hike, Grand Wash offers a family friendly outing in a short package The round trip distance is 44 miles, or if you have two cars, it can be done as a one way 22 mile through hike For those wanting something shorter, I would recommend parking at the bottom trailhead on Highway 24 and walking up from the bottom This visits the best narrow section of Grand Wash in a casual 20-30 minutes one way from the trailhead For those wanting something longer, see the [my:linkToObject type="trip" id="543" te...
