Birch is only 2 hours, 3 hours at the most, the way the ZP does it with a shuttle down to the top of Orderville.

How about Esplin?
There is also a drop in upper Orderville, not too far below the lower carpark, which affords one rappel that looks fairly good, actually.
Could be what he is referring to, though it's not really a separate canyon. That's that drop you walk around on the standard Orderville route.Utah is a very special and unique place.

When ZP takes guests to do Orderville they drive them down to the top of the dryfall and have them rappel off the top. They than gather all the tech gear and use the walk around to return to the top after sending their guests downstream.
I've never heard of ZP using this drop alone as an adventure as its always part of their day long Orderville trip, but I guess they could. At one time I had really great connections with the ZP, knew all their routes and interworkings, and would do a lot of canyons with their guides and other employees, but that was 10 years ago and the friends I had at ZP have moved on to other things.
FWIW- Their was also a time when ZP was guiding Englestead, but I don't think they have done it for years and it's much longer than Birch.

I guess you guyz are such canyon-Godz these days that you don't even notice, but...
Birch Hollow is a full-day canyon with clients, and I suspect, with most private groups. Walker has one or two rappels at best. From the Carpark down IN Orderville, it is a half-day canyon.

Why go all the way out there for a mini canyon? Birch isn't mini enough? Are you continuing down Orderville?
