In late June we explored another technical canyon in the Moab area. This was a great canyon to do in the summer because you’re walking in cool water almost the whole time. It really made the 105 degree weather pretty bearable. It only has two rappels, one of which is only about 10 feet. The other rappel is a lot of fun and lets you drop down 30 feet right next to a waterfall.

Heading upstream.

After heading upstream for a while we climbed out of the canyon via a steep gully full of loose rock.

Entering the technical part of the canyon, heading downstream now.

There were tons of cool waterslides in this area of the canyon.

The first rappel. Probably downclimbable, but it was a little sketchy so we setup a rappel.

The second rappel, and really the highlight of the trip.

This collared lizard hung out for a while near one of our backpacks.
