2nd canyon. Did it right after U-turn to round out the day. Super fun. Got destroyed by mosquitos at the bottom while belaying everyone else.

After the arch go DCL to ledge and rap into gully from a juniper tree. 100’ partly overhung instead of hiking down the gully. 2 rap stations at next rappel. Can we hike down and not do the next rap??

Nice beginner canyon with green paint taking you to the entrance of the canyon. Two bolts/anchor options. First option is nice and not a big of an overhang. Second is mostly overhang. We did overhang and got some beautiful pics. Rest of the canyon was quick and easy. Fun day with some new people in the canyons!

Actually took as long as Ryan says it does! ;) The views of the Behind-the-Rocks and La Sals are incredible. Easy hike in; huge payoff. A tiny pool of water that was completely avoidable after the storm last weekend.

With John and Margaret. Explored the slickrock above the river, and down to the start of the difficulties.

Quick fun canyon. Get there early to avoid guide companies.

Made a quick stop in Moab to do this route on the way to McKay's wedding and meeting Kayleigh. Fun free hanging rappel to begin the technical section.

A nice easy outing. Definitely don't plan on being alone. The approach trail has Large Bright Green paint footprints all the way up the slick rock to help your blood boil on the way to the arch and top of the canyon.

This is just a beautiful canyon, not a lot of down climbing or challenges but a pleasant hike and some big rappels. Enjoyed the afternoon with cloud cover. Great for a beginner canyon with a little oversight.

Quick run up for a Birthday Canyon. The really big drop can be done with a 65m rope, This rappel can be bypassed if you go canyon right, downclimb a big and then anchor off a tree for a much smaller rappel.

04/28/2021
Bela and I only. 3 hrs car to car. rapped the DC/R0 - sketchy! otherwise nice open canyon!

04/09/2021
Couple guided groups ahead of us. There is an additional rappel RDC shortly after passing Longbow arch. When the canyon starts to descend, head right up to the wall and then walk down canyon 30 M.

03/28/2021
Did with no rappels and just scrambling around the side features

03/27/2021
Hard to find the bolts. GPS and someone else’s description saying take the middle ridge finally got us there.

03/27/2021
Took a group of 20 through this canyon started in late evening. First optional rappel was good practice for those who had not rappelled before. First big rappel was cool, and with a 200ft rope you can link the last two rappels together for all but the last person to make for a quicker outing.

First rappel was incredible!

Did this our anniversary weekend was a nice mellow canyon and arch was nice

02/20/2021
Great canyon. From car to car it took us 4.5 hours with a group of six. Half of the group had never been through a canyon before. We added an extra rappel at the very beginning, as we didn't feel comfortable down-climbing into the wash. For the first (our second) rappel, my 60M 8.3mm canyon fire was the perfect length for the rappel. A spectacular free hanging rappel that makes the whole canyon worth it. The second (our third) rappel was off a tree RDC. Some members of our group rappelled and others down-slid it. The final rappel now has two bolts that are easy to spot. Great canyon, highly recommend.

Awesome! Sweet rap!

02/12/2021
Easy rappel on the north side of town

11/28/2020
3 hrs car to car - nice easy canyon with Dana, Lara, & Mike. Last rap has 2 bolts which allow for a free-hanging rap - more fun than off the tree

Carson, Elsa, and I did this on a MTB trip. Was a nice little short one. We hiked up to the top of the arch which was cool. Carson and Elsa crossed it and got a little weirded out. The rappels were easy but the big one had a really difficult rope pull because it was a big dome that the pull cord got a lot of friction on. Cool area and easy access to Moab. Took maybe 3.5 hrs but we messed around at the arch for awhile.

10/02/2020
All anchors were there and in good condition. The bolted anchors are a good ways down the rim, I can see how people might miss them.

05/25/2020
Great canyon. Easy anchor access. Beautiful view from the top of the canyon to the river and fins across the way.

04/19/2020
Awesome time did it with 2 70m climbing ropes
