Beta
The route descriptions here are not trip reports telling about what a great time a group of people had in a canyon.
The route descriptions contain real useable information for the canyon, not
just a place to show pretty pictures and hint at some cool places you
might get to see one day.
The beta here is written with the
intent of being "used" by those that wish to go enjoy the canyon as well.
Inside you will find GPS Coordinates, Maps, Written Descriptions and
other bits of information that should make your trip easier. There are
also links to pictures for each canyon which
can be used to get a feel for what the canyon will be like. Or if you
simply like looking at canyon pictures you can look over the whole picture
gallery.
Some feel that "too much" information in a route description will
ruin the surprise. I have tried to gear the information for those
that want a lot of information as well as those that only want the basics
like length
of route, longest rappel and what gear is recommended. At the top of
each description are the General Discussion, Quick Facts and Map sections. These sections
will
give you all the basic info at a glance and you need not be bothered with
all the details that follow.
It is my intent to make
the information useful to those with and those without GPS. GPS is
very helpful and sometime almost needed. But the route descriptions
are also intended to be used by those without GPS as a step by step guide
through the canyon. Keep in mind errors can occur and you should
always "think" about what you are doing and not blindly trust mine or anyone
else's beta.
Area
I live in Las Vegas, so most of the canyons listed here will be centered around
parts of California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah. Some of the main areas
covered are Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Zion National Park,
Death Valley National Park and North Wash. There will also be canyons in
other areas like Capitol Reef National Park - Utah, Coconino National Forest -
Arizona, Escalante National Monument - Utah and Grand Canyon National Park -
Arizona and Utah.
