fun. 2 x 5m raps. swimming hole just past arch view. 4 hours.
Went w/ Adam, Charlotte, Clay, and Charlotte. Rough start w/ route finding. Wouldn't recommend.
Drake and Courtney We did it backwards. No raps
Not well travelled and a nice get away. Kathy and Parker walked out the creek and I route found my way back to truck to meet them at the mill creek splash and play

Did this with Kaden. Short, easy and dry canyon close to Moab. Can be done with a short rope. I had to ascend the last overhanging drop because I forgot to take carabiner out of the fiddlestick which ended up being a very difficult ascent due to the overhand and the seem just above that pinched my ascender. Hard lesson. Pleasant walk out from Mill Creek.
family?
Kinda fun
Finding the trailhead was tricky. Very fun slot canyon, shade, great beginner route
Mandatory rappel and last downclimb had anchors slung around trees. Rap looked good, final (iffy) downclimb looked super sketch but held up okay. Nice little canyon, though probably not one I'd do again unless as a morning outing to spend the day swimming at the creek.
Did this canyon as an evening canyon and only had to do one rappel. The rest were straight forward downclimbs. A pretty lame canyon to be honest but the hike out is beautiful and well worth the time in cooler temperatures.
good, solidly beginner canyon with some nice almost sketchy downclimbs.
