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

#conditions BRING BUG SPRAY! Did the canyon on 06/29/24 Group of 8, with some beginners, took us 3 and 1/2 hours Both of the anchor points and the webbing were good I would highly recommend doing the canyon when the potholes are full of water We did some cliff jumping into the first pothole After the last rappel we ended up getting eaten alive by the mosquitoes I’m not even sure bug spray would have helped with the amount of them I have about 15 bites on each arm now I would recommend hiking out of the canyon floor...

Ran Rock Canyon on 10/30 with a group of 4 Drive took 2 hours from virgin to the trailhead pretty much as described by RTR Drove the sand road with an F350 Took the road according to all GPS coordinates as posted on RTR One part of the road was extremely tight for an F350 We made it, but I would not recommend doing it if driving a large F350 size truck the road seemed like it was built more for razors than trucks We took an alternate route back and it was much much better and truck friendly We did not get stuck in ...

#conditions Did the lower falls yesterday Flow seems a little high, and the face of the rock is really mossy and slick! There are three sets of anchors at the top of the last rap Two on the left, and one on the right looking up canyon There is no longer webbing on the right side, and you'll need to bring webbing to hook up to it The two on the left offer an easier line down the waterfall, as you can stay out of the water easier if you wish In our case, it was good due to the high flow and slippery rock surface The ...

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

Was this the spot https://wwwroadtripryancom/go/tripimage/showphoto/Mpxe If so, I suspect floods washed out the sand at the bottom making a deeper pool It was an easy step across on our visit

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
