Our church had a father's and son's campout over the weekend. It was located up Settlement Canyon, which is located just outside of Tooele. I actually found the canyon itself really beautiful and despite all the large trailers, I found a few great campsites that would be great for a one-night getaway. There is a nice little creek that runs through the canyon. The canyon is gated off (likely by Rio Tinto mining) after 5 miles or so (large group camping area there before the gate).
I had brought along the ropes and harness' to see if Caiden wanted to try some rappelling. The problem was that cliff faces were slim-pickings. The mountains around us were really steep, but no vertical faces. We did find this small 12' rock jutting out amongst the trees, so I had him practice on that one.
Here is a short video I made of my son rappelling
