Hype
Burro Wash is a great technical canyon in Capitol Reef. The approach is lengthy, requiring either a long car shuttle, or a bit of a grunt up the reef. This description takes the grunt up the reef approach, and requires no car shuttle.The canyon is not particularly technical, making it a good choice for all abilities. All-in-all, this is just a lovely day out in Capitol Reef. Expect big views, and a few great slot sections.
Note: If you are not a technical canyoneer, hiking up Burro from the bottom provides a pleasant and interesting hike. I highly recommend it.
