Over several days in late October, I backpacked into the Escalante with lostlandscapes, Dan Ransom, drclef, Zoemaster and a couple other friends. At the far end of our loop was Neon Canyon. A canyon I had originally set out to do in September of 2010 as one of my first technical canyons thanks to an invite from cirrus2000. Unfortunately, I was toast after 3 days of backpacking and 2 physical canyons so I backed out on Neon back then.
The usual route into Neon is a fairly straight forward 5 mile hike but we did it the hard (fun) way for this trip. Instead of the easy slickrock route, we spent 2-days and 18-miles exploring a more circuitous route through Egypt 6 and Twentyfive Mile Wash. That part of the trip will be covered in my upcoming full trip report with all the photos from the backpacking portion. In the meantime, enjoy this little snippet of canyoneering Neon.
Enjoy.
