Deep inside Englestead Hollow

Englestead Hollow
Zion National Park
Technical Canyoneering

          Englestead Hollow remained hidden from canyoneers for years and has only recently become popular. The deep slot was no secret to local residents. The entrance to the canyon requires a Big Wall start and the canyon is descended using mostly natural anchors which makes this route unsuitable for inexperienced canyoneers.
