This is an uncommon reward of finding an undescended slot canyon in the Utah desert. A flowing watery canyon. While less than 1/4 mile in length and nothing technical (meaning ropes and rappels), does that detract from the reward. I discovered this years ago and entirely on Google Earth while looking at a specific angle of the area did I see a slight crack in the cliffs. After driving a few hours from my house, I brought my technical gear and descended the canyon. It didn’t need it after all, and while there are some tricky downclimbs you can do it without a rope.
I love canyoneering and exploring the remote. You have to be willing to put in the effort though.
