Go Canyoneering near Hanksville
Experience the thrill of rappelling and navigating through narrow slot canyons with experienced guides in the diverse terrain around Hanksville. A true adventure for adrenaline seekers.
Itinerary tips
- 1Hire a certified guide from a local Hanksville outfitter to navigate the complex, non-technical approaches and technical drops safely.
- 2Allocate a full 8-hour day for this activity to account for the long off-road drives required to reach North Wash or Robbers Roost trailheads.
- 3Pack a minimum of 3 liters of water per person and high-calorie snacks, as the desert heat and physical exertion lead to rapid dehydration.
- 4Wear durable, long-sleeved synthetic clothing and approach shoes with high-friction rubber to prevent scrapes against abrasive sandstone walls.
- 5Download offline maps of the area beforehand, as cellular service is virtually non-existent once you leave the junction of UT-24 and UT-95.
