Canyoneer the Medieval Chamber
AdventureModerateSpringFall
Rapell 90 feet through a narrow crack into a hidden subterranean grotto, followed by a hike through the Morning Glory Natural Bridge drainage.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for a 4 to 5-hour commitment to complete the rappels and the hike out through Grandstaff Canyon.
- 2Bring a 60-meter rope and standard canyoneering kit, as the route requires two distinct rappels including the final 90-foot drop.
- 3Park one vehicle at the Grandstaff Trailhead and shuttle another to the Sand Flats Road entry point to avoid a long uphill walk.
- 4Wear sturdy approach shoes with high-friction rubber to safely navigate the slickrock approach and uneven grotto floor.
- 5Pack at least 2 liters of water and salty snacks, as the exposed initial hike offers zero shade before entering the slot.
- 6Verify current anchor conditions with a local gear shop in Moab before heading out, as flood debris can shift equipment.
