Fossil Snail Canyon is a Death Valley technical canyon in the Grapevine Mountains named for the fossil snails visible in the canyon walls — a remarkable geological feature. The canyon has a dramatic amphitheater character with interesting technical sections and expansive Death Valley views.

Best combined with nearby Crater of Doom and Dark Shadow canyons for a full technical day in the Fall Canyon area. Refer to ropewiki.com for current beta and anchor conditions before visiting.
