Eastern Sun Canyon 3AII, Zion National Park

Eastern Sun Canyon in Zion National Park is a 3AII technical canyon that earns its name from the way sunlight illuminates its walls at certain times of day — the Navajo sandstone glows with an intensity that makes every rappel feel like a descent into fire. The canyon has fun technical sections and beautiful scenery throughout.

A permit is required to access this canyon in Zion. The rating makes it appropriate for intermediate canyoneers with technical experience.
