Morocco Canyon 3A1

Updated: Aug 28

Continuing on our Prius canyoneering tour, we stopped off the highway and got into Morocco Canyon — possibly one of the shortest canyons I have visited. Don't let that sway you away. For its relative shortness, the scenic and straightforward rappels make this one a must-stop along the way.

The approach was only a few hundred feet of gain and the raps were short. There are small sections of beautiful narrow corridors and an interesting arch right in the middle of the canyon. Due to how close it is to the highway, I'd love to try this one as a nighttime canyon. A great desert stop for anyone driving through the area.
