The exceptional beauty of this place must have been unknown or it would surely have been given a deserving name. This is another key passage in the Escalante Route from Tanner to Hance Rapid. The route continues into the canyon along this shelf until it meets the bed, then goes down an 12 foot fall and follows the bed back to the river. If there has been water in the bed there will likely be large, cold, possibly deep pools to wade at some points. The narrow slot canyon is extraordinary.
Beach campsites downriver.
