Introduction

Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument is right between Capitol Reef and Bryce Canyon national parks and offers access to some of the most beautiful parts of Southern Utah. There are several canyons in the Egypt Bench varying in ratings from technical to non-technical. Although Egypt 1 could be down climbed by experts, most canyoneers will need the use of ropes to navigate the canyon safely.

Egypt 1 is a short and beautiful slot canyon with some resemblance to keyhole (in Zion) as the rappels are short and the canyon colorful. This canyon is great for beginner technical Canyoneers looking for an adventure.

Before heading out to this canyon, please check in with the Escalante visitor center to get updates on the area and road conditions.

Approach

You will park about 50 feet from the first rappel or down climb.

The road unto the Egypt 1 did not have any difficulties or need for high clearance or 4WD. This could change from season to season so it is best to check in with the Escalante visitor center to check on road conditions.
