Erebus Canyon, Death Valley National Park

Erebus Canyon is another Death Valley canyon locked in the Black Mountains of Death Valley National Park. There are some interesting rock formations from 1.8-billion-year-old rock to hydrothermal activity visible from the surface.

An early start is always needed. Most of the Black Mountain canyons mimic one another, but Erebus has its unique charm — decently narrow passages and nice drops along the way. The larger drops are lower angle but still provide a lot of fun.

Inspect EACH anchor and take responsibility to change out any that don't seem right. Have a shuttle car at the bottom and bring your shuttle key. It took us around 8 hours to complete this canyon.
