4th trip on this canyon in about 5 years Atypical for Moab; not just walking and rapping There's a wide range of ratings attributed to the 3 steep approach sections My take:1st Moki steps out of the lower canyon - 20 feet on good holds and mochi steps, always three points of solid contact To me is exposed 4th class; not hard/too far to fall Can belay those less-confidentBouldering move where old Tree used to be: I've free-climbed this a couple of times after clipping the pin, and although short, it felt like t...

Id go out on a limb here and say its an insignificant obstacle The most notable parts were mentioned, nothing else really stood out to give beta about What I think you may be referring to, is the downclimb into a darker crack, and you'll have to stop and think about getting your footing right to stem above the pothole without actually dropping into it The canyon is a few feet wide here and has kind of a curve to it, so it makes for a quick challenge I think there is a photo of it here titled "The cold Pothole" We...

Ran 9/17/25 Our first rap this height Legendary! Mostly dry, but there is mud from rain a week or so back Mandatory ankle deep mud at a couple points as of this report For the entry, I rigged a removable anchor around the rock with the little hole just by the wash photo added There was an anchor at the 2nd rappel that was loaded with grime from the storms a week or 2 ago I cut that out, reused the Mammut rapide still in great shape thanks! and replaced it with a some red webbing No pool below, but very muddy Mandat...

My husband and I just did the loop in Bullet and out Sheiks We stayed two nights The first night we found a wonderful camp in the confluence area of the canyons under a cotton wood tree in the shade Sooo, many birds singing! There is no water available currently at jailhouse spring or Bullet spring Day two we explored down to green canyon spring It's gorgeous and we were able to follow the wash as it's pretty dry It's about 3 miles out and back, 6 total Then in the evening we moved camp to the bottom of Sheiks...

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...

Amazing slot canyon loop if you do PAB and Spooky Make sure you hang a left out of spooky to get you back to the trail that heads back up tothe parking lot Parking got a pretty crowded this Memorial day weekend Probably better to visit on a non-holiday weekend

I was just in the East fork of Big Spring over the weekend I thought I'd report that the trailhead parking spot you mention has been covered with cut sage brush wood and rocks in order to hide it and discourage anyone parking there, likely by the BLM I only did 3/4ths of the East fork, but I would like to report for anyone planning to visit that there is a somewhat tight part that may discourage claustrophobes, my brother asked to exit early as he was not comfortable in the small parts It's nothing compared to Mid...

Recent visit With the moisture this year lots of vegetation Fair bit of bushwacking Bring a machette and leave the kids at home Still quite amazing!

Fun way to visit Bryce & beat the crowds & fees is to hike up from Tropic Take any road from town west until it ends right at the park boundary An short, easy hike puts you in the heart of the hoodoos

I'd say the required time is 5-7 hours We flew through on a recent visit, car-to-car time of 55 hours 4 hours is not possible without running
