Did the canyon yeterday We tried to stay dry But about 100'' after passing under the bridge there is a pool we couldn't stem over So we turned around No rope needed for the upper part of the canyon Great slot Worth a visit

Water generally flows in the bottom of Dark Canyon in spring, fall, and winter I have heard it can be dry at least in sections in high summer On our visit, it was flowing all sections we hiked in the bottom from Youngs to the River Yes, we camped next to the stream

The description says, "Non-technical visitors can use this write-up in reverse and visit many of the best parts of the canyon from below" I'm planning a backpacking trip with technical gear where I'll go up Long Canyon from White Canyon, then cross over to Gravel Canyon and take that canyon back down to White Canyon Ryan or anyone else, do you know at which point up Long Canyon I would have to exit before hitting an impassable dryfall Or will it be obvious

The access notes say that a high clearance vehicle is required for access My unmodified Subaru Outback had no issues reaching Cliff Dweller Flat on my May 2024 visit

Unable to visit due to road conditions Around mile 4, the 3rd wash crossing was too sloped angled to the side and too deep A full size p/u truck is too long to get through Then with the slope angle we were concerned with rolling, so at that point we turned around maybe a small side-by-side or ATV might make it

Hi, Ryan: Is it possible, after reaching Horse Canyon, to go north on Horse Canyon Rd first and then follow Wolverine Creek north to visit the Petrified Woods and exit Wolverine Petrified Wood Natural Area parking

Road condition was totally fine 9/7 and we thought this was super worth the visitFor getting in the giant pothole, half our group did and half didn’t Those who did agreed that most of the experience is looking at it anyway and not to stress if you don’t walk in But going down the steps seemed much scarier than coming back up would be

May 26-27, 2025 - Party of 2 backpacked into Gravel near the head of the main fork and joined this route at the confluence with the east fork, skipping the first paragraph of Ryan's route betaCONSIDERATIONS ON BACKPACKING THE ROUTE:On the first day, we bypassed the rappels and the slot narrows on the right, walking a slick rock middle rim above the narrows This required a bit of hard route-finding and 3rd class moves that were just a little too exposed and off balance to do with heavy backpacking packs We had to pa...

Agreed! We picked up a bunch of litter and glow sticks on our visit as well!

Didn't do the full loop, but just visited the panels in lower Ernie A few potentially useful notes for folks wanting to visit these in as short of a hike as possible it's well worth it, they are very detailed panels!:There is a road off of 24 at 38720504, -110491151 - if you cross through the gate and follow the road, it's easy to get to the rim of Iron Wash and doesn't require high clearance or 4WD! From where the road ends, there is a fairly easy to spot cattle trail that drops down to the wash bottom You can cro...
