| blueshade | Just ok Date Climbed: Sep 3, 2010 | |
| Did as a long loop with Chute. Loop is a long slog and neither canyon has much bang for the buck. | |

| aprovance | Nice Slot Date Climbed: May 9, 2010 | |
| Had Crack Canyon all to ourselves on a beautiful sunny day. The short subway portion at the beginning of the hike was great for pictures. Enjoyed the obstacles farther in the canyon as well. | |

| Ed F | Fun hike Date Climbed: Apr 23, 2009 | |
| This is a great slot canyon hike with a few easy obstacles. Very beautiful area. As of April 2009, I got a tiny passenger car (Toyota Yaris) to the trailhead with no issues. The roads here are maintained amazingly well for such a remote place. | |

| Travis Atwood | Another Trip Date Climbed: Apr 10, 2009 | |
| This was my third trip through the canyon and I still love it. It's really an amazing place. There were a ton of people this time, but that was probably due in part to the holiday weekend. I also ran into the same group of ATVers that Sarah mentioned in the post below and was not not terribly pleased with them. | |

| SarahThompson | Round 2 after Little Wild Horse & Bell Canyons Date Climbed: Apr 10, 2009 | |
| Did the out and back hike in the afternoon after hiking Little Wild Horse & Bell Canyons in the morning. The round trip took about 2 hours. The hardest part was trying to keep our cool as we waited for a group of ATVers who were trying to get millions of very young children down into the first narrow section. After that we had the rest of the canyon to ourselves. I liked this one just as much, if not more than, Little Wild Horse. On the hike out we ended up picking up all kinds of trash that the ATVers dropped. | |

| I had a great time, but had to be carried most of the way for this one. I really liked playing in the sand. | |

| March 2006. Went down to one of the drop-offs, and turned back due to concerns about everyone's ability to get back up. Explored a notch in the canyon wall above the narrows, though, which was fun. The canyon was very scenic, but there was a loud youth group near us much of the time, another reason not to feel too bad about bailing early. | |

| KirtDavis | My First Date Climbed: Apr 20, 2007 | |
| This was my first slot canyon. The trail to the entrance was hairy, but we had 4wd's to get close. The hike was amazing. We had to chimney across one pothole, and reroute out of the canyon and then back in in another place, but made it up and back down with only a few of us getting wet. I would definately revisit this canyon. | |

| weeds19 | Chute to Crack Date Climbed: Feb 17, 2004 | |
| We used our three day weekend to to do some exploring of the Swell. After a hike of Bell and Wildhorse the previous day we tackled these two canyons. The crossover between the canyons is not obvious, and we ended up handlining down 30 ft to get into Crack Canyon. Crack is definitely the more interesting of the two canyons and we had almost decided to wade a section of very cold water, before we found an alternate route. The two canyons together make for a fun day with some route-finding challenges. Great adventure! | ||

| Kiefer Thomas | Amazing! Date Climbed: Dec 6, 2006 | |
| Absolutely amazing! I was in awe the whole time. And with what water was present, I didn't get wet! I just skated across the ice. | |

| Vagabond Manifesto | Recent rains Date Climbed: Oct 11, 2006 | |
| Quite a hike, recent heavy rains made this exciting. Numerous impressive waterfalls. What seems to normally be a stemming-worthy dryfall at the beginning of the Entrada narrows was a kicking waterfall--had to downclimb to the right of it. Lots of water in the boulder jams section, decided to head back (hiking alone). Beautiful canyon. Water increases the difficulty! | |
