Orderville Canyon 3AII, Zion National Park, Utah

Orderville Canyon is one of the finest tributary canyons in the Zion Narrows system — a 3AII route that requires some technical skill but rewards with some of the most beautiful sandstone narrows in the park. The canyon feeds directly into the Narrows downstream of Wall Street, making it an ideal pairing with a full Narrows day.

The technical sections require ropes for the top-down descent. Multiple downclimbs and short rappels lead through stunning narrow corridors before the canyon opens into the Virgin River. Cold water is consistent — a wetsuit is recommended. Permit required from Zion NP. Refer to ropewiki.com for current beta.
