Scorpion Canyon 3AII, Death Valley National Park

Scorpion Canyon is a 3AII canyon on Death Valley's Black Range — a fast-paced descent with multiple rappels and big expansive views of Badwater Basin below. Like most Black Range canyons, Scorpion rewards the approach with striking desert geology and colors.

The canyon is relatively straightforward for the rating and makes an excellent half-day option when combined with other Black Range routes. Death Valley continues to deliver incredible canyoneering experiences for those willing to invest in the approach. Refer to ropewiki.com for current beta before visiting.
