Canyoneering 2: Technical Loop Hikes in Southern Utah

by Steve Allen

Canyoneering 2: Technical Loop Hikes is a guide to seven, week-long backpack trips into some for the most unspoiled and least-visited areas in the Utah section of the Colorado Plateau. Every hike contains the four essentials of a great canyoneering route: spectacular canyons, intimate narrows, big views, and physical challenge. Although the routes are difficult, newcomers to the canyons will also find detailed information here that can be used to plan less demanding excursions. Hikes include Muddy Creek in the San Rafael Swell, Dirty Devil North, Dirty Devil South, Dark Canyon, White Canyon, Escalante East, and Escalante South. For experienced canyoneers.

[Brian · Rating 4 out of 5]

This will be a really good guide when I am an advanced canyoner/climber/backpacker, but at the moment it is quite simply past my skill level. These week-long trips sound beautiful, the guides are detailed, and the trips are well thought out, but I would only recommend this book to the person who has been doing this for a few years now.
