Burnt Canyon East Fork, Grand Canyon National Park

Burnt Canyon East Fork is a remote technical descent in the Grand Canyon backcountry. Like many Grand Canyon canyons, the commitment level is significant — a long approach, serious route-finding, and the ever-present awareness that you are deep inside one of the world's most formidable landscapes. The East Fork offers technical rappelling in stunning desert canyon terrain.

The geology throughout the canyon is classic Grand Canyon — layered reds, oranges, and purples with the redwall limestone providing the canyon's most dramatic sections. A permit is required to access this area. Research carefully before attempting this canyon.
