String of Pearls

Sculpted slot canyon especially enjoyable in Spring or after recent rains, when the water in the pools is clear and fresh. In Summer and Fall the stagnant pools get murky and stinky.

Best done as a shuttle from Bonnie Springs. There are two approaches, one that is short if you have an HCV (no need for 4wd) and one that is longer if you don't have an HCV. The short approach is from Rainbow Springs/Little Zion TH off of Lovell Canyon Rd.

Begins with a series of potholes filled with cold water, some deep as chest high-there are no other potholes after these containing water. The canyon itself is not very technical and the raps, although being stated in other beta as being over 100 feet are pretty easy and are mostly low angle. Use the "other beta" for direction through the technical section. The track is an approximation.
