Abyss and Echo canyons

Sand Flats Recreation Area (Moab, Utah) view map


This looks about southwest from the fins of Sand Flats Recreation Area. Straight ahead is Abyss Canyon, which dead-ends in the distant shadow. Its closer portion angles to the right to join Negro Bill Canyon, but that portion is obscured by the foreground rock.

The shadowy canyon at left is Echo Canyon, a branch of Abyss. Together thy form a Y. The undulating sandstone terrain above the canyons contains the Slickrock Bike Trail and the Hell’s Revenge 4x4 trail.

The patch of dirt in the foreground is about seven feet wide and the bush about three feet tall.

I'd like to ride Hell's Revenge. Maybe in the Fall, after the Summer vacationers have departed the Moab area.
