Cassidy Arch Canyon, Capitol Reef Utah, October 2016
It's been awhile since I've posted any canyoneering videos.... Here is one that we did last fall, Cassidy Arch in Capitol Reef Utah. It is one of our favorites! Its a beautiful canyon in a setting that reminds us of Zion but without the crowds. The first drop used to be anchored to a small tree at the top of the arch. It's now about 15 feet lower on the rock face with an easier start. That first drop descending under the arch is gorgeous! Every drop in the canyon is fun, there are three arches to descend through! The canyon is named after the infamous Butch Cassidy. It is thought by some that this was the hideout for the Wild Bunch outlaws and you can even see some historic relics along the way, including an old wood bridge towards the end of the technical section.
