Red Breaks Canyon

Red Breaks Canyon slots

Name:	Red Breaks Canyon slots - Harris Wash trailhead off Hole in the Rock road - Escalante
Details:	Red Breaks Canyon offers several very good narrows. Going up the main channel, there are first decent narrows, with several chokestones to climb or chimney over (max 2 m high). Then the canyon opens up a bit, and there is a fork, left ends soon in a dryfall, the right one (main channel) continues to be shallow for some time. The left fork behind the dryfall offers the longest slot, go up the main channel about 100 m and then climb west out of the canyon, and back into the left fork. The narrows are about mile long, quite narrow, with numerous chokestones. Main fork also has some narrows above confluence with northeast fork. It's the best to go down on this one, as one has to downclimb about 5 m tall series of chokestones. After exiting the left slot, climb out in the eastern direction and go down the next drainage. The downclimb with the chokestones is the most difficult part, chimneying down 5 m deep slot. This one is only about 500 m long, and ends in about 3 m dryfall, which is relatively easy to slide down from (but would be tricky to climb). Going up the northeast fork, there is a very short slot, and then a slickrock wonderland. Right under two prominant buttes on the north, cross east into another drainage and follow that to its confluence with the main Red Breaks Canyon fork.
