There are countless places along the Wasatch. Pick up a climbing guide. If you want to go somewhere close and convenient you could go to the mouth of Parley's, just make sure your rope is long enough. I saw a group rap on a rope that didn't reach the ground. Yelled to them but they came down anyway. It was part scary and part funny watching them figure out how to get down(no gear for ascending).

Yea tons of places. One spot I've taken people that is actually pretty sweet is down the eastern cliff next to Hidden Falls right above the S-curve in BCC. There are plenty of trees to anchor off of and you can have the rap drop you right on the shore next to the fall, very pretty spot. Bring plenty of webbing especially if you want to equalize off more than one tree. You could probably rap down the waterfall but not until spring runnoff is over.

A bit of a drive, but I like Echo Canyon for rappelling at a variety of different heights.

I noticed a few fixed climbing ropes. Though rappels would be bad here, very very bad ackward starts. Not for rappeling.
I will be moving back in with my parents next week, I'll have to go re check out these places and see if I can find the enterance to Neffs Cave. I just want to see the entrance not go in it; heard of the close call with death those boys had.
