Zero G, although not a destination, makes a great side trip while traveling between I-70 and Hanksville. It is also very close to both the North Fork of Iron Wash , and Lower Eardley Canyon , and makes a great combo day with either. The canyon has several natural bridges and a whole lot of charm.
Warning: The last obstacle in this canyon is often done as a narrow downclimb and has been the scene of MANY rescues including one fatality. Rappelling is recommended for safety!
Zero G has a semi-keeper pothole. Be prepared to do a partner assist or pack toss if necessary. I would not recommend this canyon for solo canyoneers or beginners. Competent leadership required!
