Un-beta'ed Moab canyon

[oldno7]

Not sure who else might have enjoyed this little jem, easy access.

I didn't have a gps with me so I used google Earth,here is a close coordinate that will get you there: N38 34.317,W109 46.719 (I think this is all the beta needed)

We called it Turkey Track Canyon due to the formation at the 2nd rap. But hey-----I'm open to a better name. I would guess it had been done prior because it is easy access, but no evidence of such. Anyone??

Sorry about the reverse order of pics.

How about Bull Canyon? That's what the topo says, anywho.
MoabMatt probably has drove past it...at the very least....

but nice I like it! That first pothole, I'm guessing you guys didn't go through it since you're not muddy in the following pics?

Easy bypass on canyon left

We have been in there, though we fixed ropes and ascended back out. We were hoping the first little draw below the second rap coming in on canyon right would be hikable, but it's not.

That makes 3 of us. We ascended back out also. We didn't want to swim the last pothole on a November morning with no wetsuit's.
We did rim walk the South side and dropped in on a nose just East of the side canyon your talking about. So you can exit. It also looked like a good ramp went through the North cliffband but I couldn't see the top 50'.

Nice photos.

I've been there too (as well as the other forks in the area), though I've never bothered bring the ropes. It is definately already labled on the map as Bull Canyon. The other Bull Canyon in the Moab area farther north is more interesting, but only has one rap and isn't that long.

You could call it Crips Hole. Thats the name that area is known by?

I have been doing some searching around in this area for a fun route. THe B.S.A has an explorer camp in Crips hole, they just do some rappeling with their Scouts but they told me one of the guide services years ago did a fun route in this area. Supposedlly has 4 or 5 rappels. They said they quit doing it due to some problem with school trust land? They were familiar with granary and did not think that was it. I have heard from several others about a good route out there also. Matt or anyone else know anything?

I thought it was against canyoneer law to name a canyon as it would appear on a topo map

What a radical concept, I hope it never catches on..........

I'm thinking maybe mile 1.2 Gemini road canyon.
