Long Gravel Canyons Loop

verified ACA 3B Unknown flood risk Blanding, UT

Absolutely spectacular backpacking canyoneering experience. Up Long Canyon is not technical, but there are two or three challenging up-climbs that will be nice to have assistance.

Going up Long and down Gravel could be considered the "Descent."
