Lomatium Canyon -- Arches National Park
Lomatium Canyon
This weekend Peakbagger met up with me and let me tag along with him as he and his family did Lomatium Canyon in the Fiery Furnace. It was an amazing canyon, and it was so great to meet up with @peakbagger. This world needs more people like him! I can't thank him enough for being willing to show me the route through the Fiery Furnace.
Good fun was had by all. Enjoy the pictures!
I only see the sun rise when I am going on a canyoneering trip! Otherwise I am always sleeping in my bed till 10am! gah!
The beautiful Fiery Furnace! Always a good time had hiking in there!
Skull Arch! Love this arch!
Surprise Arch! another favorite of mine in the Furnace!
Yes, that is me wearing my Bogley shirt. It was a gift by winning the recent photo contest! THANK YOU BOGLEY!

Nice TR! That is a cool route. In fact, I'm taking my friend through there in two weeks. Man, I can't wait.

Nice pictures. I would like to do that canyon sometime. I took the tour offered by the park service into the Fiery Furnace. That is a really pretty place. Thanks for sharing.

Lomatium Canyon -- Arches National Park
Dang I still need to have someone guide my friends and I through this (and Krill too). What's the time from car to car?

Lomatium alone can easily be done with a group of 4 - 6 in about 4 hours from the Fiery Furnace parking area and taking the complex route through the Furnace. However, since you have the permit to be in there, might as well enjoy the opportunity and hike around and see some of the other sights. Also, in estimating times, keep in mind the sign in process (gotta watch the film & be tested) and the drive time from the entrance to the parking area (minimum of 20 minutes one way).

Well done. Gotta get back to Arches soon. Can anyone recommend the summit hike up Elephant Butte?

Re: Lomatium Canyon -- Arches National Park
Elephant Butte is probably the best route in Moab.

That's the answer I was looking for. Better though, than Pool Arch/Rock of Ages? Simulrap off Pool was pretty cool.

Great pics! Another one that has been on my list for more than a year! Did you apply for the permit in advance, or just when you arrived? How many do they give out in a day?
Thanks for posting.

I have done the Firey Furnace a couple dozen times and I have never been denied a permit showing up at the visitor center the morning of my intended trip. Once I was told my group had reached the allotment limit and we were the last permits that would be issued for the day.
No garuntees... but Furnace permits are not an arrive early and stand in line type situation similar to Zion. Normally if you get to the VC before noon you are golden.
However.... the ranger guided tours do book up early and they do accept advance resevations which can be booked on-line.

Thanks. Looks like I need to get a previous canyoneer to take me through a route. I'll inquire the group once I have a potential escape from work date.

Some more fun with iMovie and the new movie trailer feature.
2nd Try
1st go at it
My buddy and I headed down to the FF to find Lomation and Krill this weekend. We were one of at least 3 groups doing the route. The "secret" route isn't very "secret" lol! It was a blast. We held up and let the other groups have their space. We didn't want to crowd or get crowded in the canyon. It was nice to take the time to do some little exploring along the way.CanyoneeringUtah.blogspot.com

Re: Lomatium Canyon -- Arches National Park
Its not the route is secret.... its that canyoneers need to stay on route to avoid creating trails and stomping crypto or we will lose access to the route. And it seems the best way to do this is go with someone that has done the route before. Canyoneers have been put on notice by the park that if we become a problem in the FF we will lose access.
