9 May 2026 "On Saturday, May 9, we hiked out to Egypt 3, which took about two hours. The canyon can mostly be downclimbed unless you choose to do the optional tec
Egypt 3 itself can be done without ropes, but is often combined with Egypt 2, making the "down 2 up 3" trip a technical loop between the two canyons.
Approach
Descent
Exit
If you parked at Egypt 2 (as the road is much rougher after 2), you can exit the canyon and head directly north but staying east of Egypt 2. There is a climb up to exit around 37.5807, -111.2397. It is on the west side of the drainage. It also looked like a climb on the east side was possible. Also, you can hike up Egypt 2 a bit and use the Egypt 2 exit.
