I'd read the low panel is Khota Circus properhttp://kensphotogalleryblogspotcom/2014/10/daytrip-kohta-circus-petroglyph-sitehtmlthere are a few petros along the way out on the right, appx 3648787, -11419879 or just after
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...
If wanting to do a winter/ski ascent - there is a yurt near Delano which makes for a nice hike A great range with awesome views The yurts here are surprisingly cheap and the best way to backcountry in the winter in my opinion : http://wwwskitusharcom/

In the summer of 1846, the Donner Party set off for California En route, they learned of Hastings Cutoff, a supposed easier route to California that would make for a shorter trip Nevermind Hastings himself had only traversed the route once of the same year and without wagons! His enthusiasm for California and the fact it was a shorter route convinced the Donner Party to take the new course They chose the route over Big Mountain Pass after scouting determined Weber ...
Upper City Creek Canyon is one of the most pristine canyons along the Wasatch Front Rules against dogs, horses, and camping are in the canyon, coupled with somewhat difficult access, have made this a lightly visited area The hike to the meadows shows this light usages Expect a trail that is occasionally hard to find in grassy meadows, solitude, and a very natural setting On a July day, I was dazzled by butterflies and birds, with many more spotted than I have seen elsewhere in the Wasatch City Creek Canyon is quite...
City Creek is rich in history The canyon is currently home to one of the Salt Lake valley’s water treatment plants and has long had a history of providing water to the valley The upper reaches of the canyon held the site of several mines, none of which were very successful Then came prohibition, and moonshine was added to the story of City Creek Canyon The trail described here, Smugglers Gap, was used by moonshiners to smuggle moonshine from City Creek to the military base at Fort Douglas The hike is steep and heav...
This creek is still closed to access Even four years after the fire, the area is very unstable Once the roots decay, the dead trees will be coming down and going into the drainage This creek is going to be a mess for years to come Please see: http://ropewikicom/Munra_Creek for any updates
Great winter canyon Did this one January 2008 Encountered no water or ice in the west fork The flow down stream at the confulence with the main fork was frozen solid Pics at: http://picasawebgooglecom/stevelawyer/WhiteRoostCanyonWestFork# Best part as always -- not a soul to be seen in 5 degree temps
Munra Creek has reopened since the Eagle Creek fire, but it's not what it was Very overgrown with briars Use extreme caution and be prepared for loose rocks, landslides, fallen trees, debris, and more Munra has been the site of several rescues; don't be one of them See http://ropewikicom/Munra_Creek for the most up-to-date information
Ignore #2 above The bolts at the last drop are designed to be used without any slings being left behind - it's respect for hikers coming upstream The hangers are Metolious Rap Hangers that you can run a rope through directly Rig something you're comfortable with for everyone but the last person Then last person should switch to a plain double-rope rappel For a good explanation, see http://wwwcanyoneeringnet/forums/showpostphpp=24705&postcount=5 If you see slings at the last rap station, pack them out
