SGR: The Slot Canyon
A new book about canyoneering in Moab recently came out, and within its covers I found beta for SGR Canyon. Only two canyons in that book had a 5/5 star rating: Pleiades and SGR. I had done Pleiades before and LOVED it! Since this "new" canyon had a similar "star rating" as the favorite Pleiades canyon it made my "short" list, and I decided to make the trip happen soon!

I really enjoy canyoneering in Moab. Yes, I know, most of the slot canyons near moab can hardly be called "slot" canyons, but, what they lack in "slotiness" they make up in providing great fun and breathtaking scenery! SGR was wonderful canyon. As I sit here and ponder upon my trip I get goosebumps thinking about all that I saw and experienced on this trip. It was a good one!

"That spot" is the first serious scramble up the approach, and the last rap out.
Having done the hard work of SGR, we were wet by the time we prepared for this last rap, so the south-western sun at the top provided some welcome warmth against the chill of the water. We took a break and had a snack, before dropping over the sun-bathed lip for the exit hike.
