Hiking Ding & Dang Canyon (San Rafael Swell, Utah)

Hiking Ding & Dang Canyon in the San Rafael Swell desert of Utah.
This was my 4th time through the canyon but this instance I took my family and 70-yr old mother through.
Follow along to see what it was like!

Cool video. 9:38 I love the vertical straight-line seams in the True Ancients' continental features.

That is a cool section indeed!

Great video. Looks like fun. Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! It definitely is. It’s similar to Little Wild Horse Canyon but on steroids but still able to be descended by 1/2 to 3/4 of people. The one spot that is tricky is where you may need to use a rope to descend a 10ft ledge or so.

Great video showing the class 3 scrambling of the two canyons. Most videos kind of blow by all of Ding and concentrate on the one major down climb of dang. Think you video realistically shows what the canyons are like, than most. Thank you. Great job by all!!

Thanks! I appreciate the comment. I try to do that and capture "most" that I can. I don't want to film for 4 hours straight, but just bits and pieces here and there and the obstacles in the path. Such a fun canyon though.
