We attempted the canyon on 6/5/22 and made it a little more than half way before we reached a 20ft pour over We didn't see a route to walk around that wasn't through cripto and it was not something that seemed like it could be stemmed due to an overhang Just curious if there was something we missed We ended up turning around at this point We were originally hoping to get to the alt route out

Did this canyon mid June 2024 Really great and great approach hike Beautiful canyon that we found challenging we only make it down to Utah to canyoneer every year or two so certainly not experts! We were never really sure where we were in the canyon relative to the RTR description, which was a first This was not really a problem though probably made it more fun as there are multiple ways to tackle several of the drops and we enjoyed "figuring it our for ourselves" I will note that we did the first rap from the...

I have hiked Sulphur Creek close to a hundred times over the past 30 years It can change with each flash flood Usually a big flash flood will scour out the sand and gravel forming deeper pools These fill back in over time with smaller flash floods So you may have a deep pool that requires swimming one time and only ankle deep water in the same place on your next trip In the past several summers, we have found Sulphur Creek dry at the Visitor Center - similar to SwellJohn's experience on 20 June 2025 This is j...

Ran this 10/18 The upper and lower station previously wrote "mid station" but realize that may be confusing since it is closer to the bottom rappel anchors on the 60m rappel are in good condition Used two 60m ropes tied together and had a few meters to spare skipping the station on the slab Recommend extending the top anchor over the lip, using a courtesy anchor for all but the last member of your party, and then having the last rappeler do a short protected descent to the extended anchor over the lip If not extend...

#conditions 3/17/2026 Shortcut was fun! Subaru forester did fine to the TH Road is rough in a few spots before the overlook turnoff; could easily turn to 4WD truck status Agree with description Drop in right from the No hunting sign, traverse off the right lip of a cream pour off I added a photo; don’t go farther right to sketchy cairns, then back a little bit left down a class 3 move here, then scramble DOWN the drainage to a bench, traverse way left to the far side of the red rock cliffs, then back right & down o...

This site is fascinating! The mine consists of large tunnels going into the Salt Wash Member of the Morrison rock formation The tunnels go back less than 200 feet, but are honeycombed, leaving open areas held up by pillars of rock It is quite a site to see Though visible from the highway, it is not frequently visited up close, but well worth the short hike to visit it in my opinion Visiting requires a true 4-wheel drive vehicle in most conditions, but walking from the paved highway is very reasonable and only adds ...

Devils Canyon Nature Trail is a short interpretive trail at the Devils Canyon Campground between Monticello and Blanding This short trail makes a great "leg-stretcher" if passing through the area The campground is also quite nice, if needing a place to camp for the night This short 04-mile hike has 15 markers with information about the area On our visit, there was one very tattered brochure to use and return to the trailhead register when done with the hike The points of interest are reproduced below in case the br...

At the base of the Henry Mountains, in the transition zone between desert and mountains, lies the Little Egypt Geologic Site The site is an exposed Entrada Sandstone area that has eroded into hoodoos, passages and small towers This is the same layer that makes up Goblin Valley in the San Rafael Swell, and is quite reminiscent of the goblins found there The area is fun for families or those that are young at heart to wander around and climb on the many formations I am not sure who had more fun on our visit, myself o...

Independence Rock, often called the “Great Register of the Desert,” is one of the most famous landmarks along the emigrant trails of the American West Located in central Wyoming, this massive granite outcrop rises about 130 feet high and stretches nearly 2,000 feet in length For thousands of years, it served as a landmark for Native peoples, hunters, trappers, and later, tens of thousands of emigrants traveling the Oregon, California, and Mormon Trails The rock’s distinctive rounded shape and prominent position on ...
