Eagle Sink, Utah

Eagle Sink is a limestone sinkhole collapse on BLM land in Utah. The pit is around 80ft on the low side and about 160ft from the high side. At the bottom is a depression with a large amount of breakdown with no going passages. A rock cairn from a previous visit marks the bottom. The rock is very brittle and dangerous near the edges — do not get too close. I came solo as my group had incidents along the way, so I enjoyed this place with birds flying in and out of the sink and clouds passing overhead.

After climbing out I walked the ridge looking for more pits — nothing found on this visit. Looking forward to returning. A beautiful desert sinkhole reminiscent of a mini-Mexico cenote, with birds echoing off the walls and clouds drifting overhead. On BLM land and accessible to the public with proper permits.
