Access Issue: Echo Canyon Seasonal Closure: Jan. 1 - second Saturday in April (and sometimes longer) Details

The Echo Canyon climbing areas are located within the Henefer-Echo Wildlife Management Area. The Utah Division of Wildlife Resources closes all access to the WMA each year from January 1 to the second Saturday in April (and sometimes longer) to protect wintering wildlife.

Description

The Transcontinental Wall is the tallest single sweep of rock in Echo Canyon. It begins just east of the pull off for the Choss Cave and is approximately 500 feet high.

Getting There

Park at the electrical shack east of the Choss Cave pull off. Walk west along the road until you reach a small clearing on the North side of the road, before the giant overhanging boulder. You can also park at the Choss Cave pull out. Look for a small cairn. Go up past this and you'll find a fixed hand line. Go up this, then go left through the boulders past a cairn or two and then further left toward an old telegraph pole. At that point, head up and a bit leftish, then up a loose gully and the path of least resistance to the base. The start should be slightly to the east of where you come out of the trees.
