Dragonfly is a classic short canyoneering adventure in Arches. Big views, two rappels, potholes, and a beautiful deep, lush canyon. If you have a few hours, and would like to experience beauty and solitude within a stone's throw of the main road, this is the place!
WARNING: A keeper pothole has reportedly appeared a pothole before the first rappel that is difficult to escape. Pothole gear and skills required. Hard throws or other skills may be needed depending on water level.
Poison Ivy Warning: There can be poison ivy at the bottom of the last rappel, but it is generally avoidable.
