Hype

Yellow Brick Road is one of the most beautiful areas around. This is not the place for tight, deep, dark slots, but rather open areas, big views, and an incredible bridge. Unique features abound on this one. This is a hike with a few amazing rappels. If your looking for a technically challenging slot fest, look elsewhere. Be sure to bring your camera.

Hi Ryan, Group of four of us did the canyon on Mar 20th, 2009. the final repel was only 25m (appx); used one 60 m rope. I went down last on a double & pulled & there was still 30' of rope (appx) left in the rope bag when I got to the bottom. Also, the Emerald city had only 2 pools, an avoidable one, and a very putrid, black, wading required one at the end. thanks for the beta!! It has been a great benefit to my friends & myself. Peace Tony

The road out there is epic right now. 4x4 required. The fall storms have really washed out sections of the road.
