Hey my wife and i are heading to vegas for a little break from the cold in wyoming. We are planning on climbing for the most part but i was wondering if there is any technical canyoneering near vegas. We did some things in zion last year ( pine creek, and a few others) and she had a blast. So just lookin for some info. thanks.

Dave thanks for the reply and the sight. I'm thinking lost creek might be the way to go. I figured there had to be something around there somewhere. This will make our vacation that much more enjoyable. Thanks for the replies as well, Larry and Killis. If anyone else has got any info toss it in here. Adam

The MAZE has 5 sensitive plant species in canyon and is a growing concern with the BLM. What the BLM does not want to see is that the Maze turns into another Pine Creek.
Over the past two year the canyon is seeing more and more traffic and I have carried out multiple bags of trash. Please practice Leave No Trace ethics while in the canyon.
The Maze is in the Rainbow Mountain Wilderness area and thus all the anchors in the canyon are natural. The whole canyon can be done clean with out any fixed anchors. Please do not add any additional fixed anchors
