Tierdrop is a mellow canyon in Arches. Although not really a slot, the canyon provides amazing views, and an opportunity for big rappels, interesting anchors, and phenomenal views. Tierdrop Canyon is a great casual canyoneering afternoon if you are in the Moab area.

One big caution, the canyon requires expert natural anchor skills. Tierdrop drops steeply down an Entrada Sandstone bowl, with few possibilities for anchors.
