Description
Getting There
Drive up Long Canyon from Potash Rd (turn into the Jug Handle Arch Parking Area and keep going up the long dirt road). At 2 miles on the dirt road from Potash Rd, you will come to the first obvious switchback. Park right at the switchback. Choose your adventure to make your way up to the wall (15-30min); as of 11/2021 there is no established trail, but there are some cairns here and there as you find your way into the main drainage that comes down from the wall.
