Behind the Rocks (Rock of Ages)
I'm going to be heading to Moab in a week with a few people who have never been canyoneering before. I'm a little unfamiliar with the Behind the Rocks area, but it looks like a great spot to take them. Where can I find a good map/trip report for this area? How long are the rappells? Any info is appreciated since, like I said, I've never been to this area before. Thanks in advance!

Here is everything you need to know
Rock of Ages Route Description
It's a good beginner route, provided they have competent leadership. The route has several options so a straight answer isn't easy. All the options and requirements are detailed in the route description.
We did the route last weekend and it is currently dry, provided you skip the pool arch stunt rappel. Pool Arch is currently a swimmer. The video below is from last weekend (Feb 26, 2013).

Thanks a lot for the help! I don't have a Circle of Friends membership, and I'm only going to be in that area next week (Sadly, I'm in Colorado right now so I only get a couple weeks out in canyon country ever year). Is this the only place I can find details on the area, or should I just suck it up and get the membership? I'm so cheap, I'd hate to get a yearlong membership for one week of fun
