I explored Big Horn Canyon, another one of the many slots canyons cutting their way through the sandstone surrounding Escalante, Utah, during early February. This particular canyon is actually a pair of slots, one going off to the right and the other off to the left when viewed from the main entrance. The one to the right is fairly boring in terms of twists, turns, and colorful rock. The slot to the left is much more interesting, though still not as amazing as other nearby slots such as Zebra. Nevertheless, the left member offered some fun tight climbing sections, particularly near a log jam that must be climbed over or under. After getting past the log jam, there is a dry falls, which was unclimable, and thus marked the end of my slot adventure.
