Hype

Make no mistake, Winter Camp Wash is not a destination canyon. Think of it, rather, as an after dinner canyon if your in the area. The canyon is a short, yet impressively deep Entrada sandstone slot. The canyon, with only one rappel, is a good choice for beginners. The view from the first rappel, is breathtaking, and has good evening light for photos.

This was a fun little evening canyon! If you anchor your rope more to the right off a live juniper and head down the obvious water course you can avoid all the ledges and logs. This does require a about 50 feet of webbing or extra cord to make it the edge, but you can retrieve all of it at the end anyway.
