Cherry Canyon
Went down cherry canyon in the virgin river gorge the other day. Crossing the river to get there was no problem, about calf deep. Lots of raps, a fairly short approach, decent canyon for a change of scenery.

Another interesting & dramatic one. That shot with the fossil, is that in limestone of some kind there?

The VRG is mostly limestone. One reason why knotchocks work well there.

Just for fun if you want to see that fossil, I was using the panasonic camera that gives you gps coordinates when you take pictures and it said that it is at 36

Is this a safe canyon to bring newbies who have never done a canyon before?

Looks like a sweet canyon.
Is it the drainage west of the GPS coordinate? What's the longest rappel length? (Fishing for some beta since I can't find any.)

I am interested to know if this is a good canyon to take new people who haven't done a canyon before.
