Beehive, Eye of Heaven Arch, White Domes, Water Canyon, Canaan Mtn - Hilldale, UT

This was an exciting loop with spurs that take in the Canaan Mountain Wilderness. Starting at Squirrel Canyon Trailhead, I went up short creek then right after the branch into Squirrel, climbed up and over the Beehive, joined the ATV track to the north, then took a southern spur to check out Eye of Heaven Arch, then heading west to the White Domes, further west to check out more rock formations, then came down Water Canyon

Thanks for the video! We did Water Canyon yesterday, and it was very tricky. Lots of snow and ice, very slippery, but gorgeous!

This is a fantastic hike! We did Water and Squirrel Canyon in February, it's absolutely beautiful and happy it wasn't too crowded when it's cold. Summer it gets busy. Found a hidden waterfall that was rad!

nice! If you get a chance to do the beehive and/or the arch I would highly recommend both

[@KarlDeckerPresents]

Sweet Man! Just researching this area and saw your video. Did not realize you are such a strong climber! Perfect. Cool how you've done your homework too. Refresh my memory, exactly where are you based out of? I'm getting excited to head down south somewhere and Get Busy! I subbed

hey man! I'm in Scottsdale, AZ. I just was able to monetize my channel and a bunch of videos got flagged for illegal music so having to repost a handful after editing out music. I just did a 100k ultra last weekend! I'm sure you'll see that video pop up

Really cool. I grew up in hildale. Didn't know the arch was named Eye of Heaven. We called it the Natural Bridge. I think I like Eye of Heaven tho.

I've also heard in called "water canyon arch". But it's def an arch and not a natural bridge

I left cairns in that tunnel a few years ago when I went up The Beehive. Looks like they're not there anymore.

I think the animals that frequent that cave probably destroyed them haha

How much bushwhacking did you encounter as you ascended the southern cliff face? D-roc's video made it look like pretty nasty.

[@HikingEngineer]

honestly it wasn't bad -- just wear pants and you'll be fine. You just have to step up/through a lot of brush since there is no trail. The first 300' of the ascent had brush then once you got to the rock you were fine
