It's a lot of fun. I hope with the information here, it will be even more fun. I have collected beta for a variety of explorations - easy and difficult, short and long, civilized and wild, popular and obscure. Please read the Introduction , Warning and Ratings sections at least once, and use common sense when you are out there. Backcountry Travel in Utah is unlike hiking in most parts of the United States.
Official trails are few.
Map reading, climbing and terrain reading skills are all important for safe and satisfying backcountry adventures. Getting oneself in trouble is an ever-present possibility. This guide is no substitute for common sense. Instead, I hope to provide enough information for fellow enthusiasts to find adventures that suit their desires and skills. My emphasis is on the developing sport of Technical Canyoneering.
