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.Note: If you are not a technical canyoneer, hiking up Burro from the bottom provides a pleasant and interesting hike. I highly recommend it.
