Red Breaks, Escalante, Utah

Red Breaks is a beautiful non-technical canyon in Escalante, Utah. Swirling red/orange narrow corridors and beautifully sculpted walls make this a must-do in the region. There are multiple ways to enter Red Breaks — one is the traditional route from Harris Wash up to the canyon. You climb as high as you can and head back when you've had enough, or make it to the end.

Another route is from Spencer Flats, where you cross-country to the top of Red Breaks and descend down into the canyon. Care must be taken to not get stuck — an alternative is to go down and out and cross-country hike back to your car at Spencer Flats. Regardless of how you do it, it's a great hike and a beautiful way to experience a non-technical slot canyon. Enjoy the Escalante!
