This is a spectacular but long outing through the longest slot canyon on earth. Although it is possible to do this as a day hike it is more commonly experienced as an overnighter making it necessary to obtain a permit from the BLM; day use and dog fees also apply. Although long rappels are not present in the canyon a forty-foot handline should be carried. Be prepared for some long ankle to knee deep wading and the occasional swim through cold water; bring dry-bags. Egress from the canyon is achieved by walking up Paria Canyon to the White House Trailhead were you should have a shuttle vehicle waiting. Check and heed weather reports, as being caught in a flood here would be fatal. All waste must be carried out.
