Canyoneering Route Description
Hog 1 Canyon (aka Boss Hawg) - 3A II
North Wash, Utah.
01-03-12, 2 people, 1 Day (Travel time in route 4.5 hours)
Time Required - 4 to 5.5 hours
Distance - 3.3 miles Total, 0.6 miles Technical
Rappels - 1 Rappels, Longest Rappel 12 feet but
requires 40 feet of rope travel.
A couple of the down climbs may be arguably rappels adding to the
count.
Elevation Range - 5175 - 4355 Feet
Shuttle Required -No Vehicle - High Clearance
(possibly 4WD depending on road conditions)
Permit Required - No
Rappelling and anchor gear, Ropes and or pull cords for rappels up
to 40 feet and 25 feet of 1 inch webbing for sling placement.
There is one spot of possible chest deep water if
recent rains have filled it up. The Hogs tend to drain
quickly so there is usually no water here.
Hog 1 (Boss Hawg)
has only one mandatory rappel but a
few down climbs may be arguably
rappels so use your judgment and do
what you feel is safe. Hog 1
is almost as enjoyable as Hog 3 but
not quite.
Some of the drops
in Hog 1 look and feel like a rappel
but are down climbable for those
with the skills to do it.
To get to the Trailhead
From the junction of highways 276 and 95, travel south on
highway 276 for 3.6 miles to a dirt road turn off on the left
(east) side of the road (extLandOZ-Hogs). Turn left (east)
onto the dirt road and drive about 2.1 miles to the crest of a
small hill (pkHogsUpper). This spot is also where
the road starts to veer from east to south east. Park
along side the road to start the hike over to the Hogs.
To leave the Exit Vehicle / Escape Pod
No exit vehicle required. The Hogs are done as loop
routes.

Map of the route overview.
The Approach:
From the parking spot (pkHogsUpper)
walk across the open
desert north west at a
bearing of 30 degrees
for about 0.8 miles over
to the rim of the Hog
Canyon system
(wHogsTopRP-01).
This is also where the
southern end of a short
sandstone cliff band
starts. From
here you have a good
view to the east over
the Hog Canyon routes.
Note:
About 0.4 miles from the
parking spot you will
pass kind of near (jHogStndExTop) the
head of a drainage on
the right (east).
This drainage is used as
one of the exits up out
of the Hogs. You
likely will not notice
it when hiking in on the
approach route but I
thought it worth
mentioning as a helpful
hint if you are
navigating by map and
written route
description only.
When you get to the
sandstone cliff band
along the rim
(wHogsTopRP-01) walk
north along the rim for
about about 0.2 miles to
the top of a wide gently
sloped drainage leading
down southeast from the
rim here. This is
the top of the Hog 4 /
Miss Piggy route
(yHog4-MsPigyTp).
From the top of Miss
Piggy (Hog 4), continue
north east about 0.2
miles in the rolling
desert roughly following
the rim.
About 600 feet before
getting to the obvious
head wall for Hog 1 is
where you veer right and
begin to walk over to
the rim (jHog1).
Walk over to the rim and
look for a spot to start
the scramble
(wHogOneRP-01) down off
the rim and down to Hog
1. This scramble / down
climb is on the RDC side
of Hog 1 aiming for the
slot that starts about
500 or 600 feet down
canyon of the obvious
headwall for Hog 1.
About 100 feet down the
slope off the rim you
will be on a dirt
covered shelf
(wHogOneRP-02).
Traverse north west
along the shelf and
route find your way
about 300 feet over to
and down the slick rock
into Hog 1. Aim for the
top of a slot forming
about 500 feet down
canyon of the head wall
(yHog1Tp).
The Canyoneering / Technical Section:
From the top of
the slot that starts
about 500 feet down
canyon of the head wall
(yHog1Tp), look for a
short steep chute to
slide / down climb to a
sandy bottom slot.
Continue down canyon
with easy stemming in a
V shaped slot for a
little over 200 feet to
a short open area with a
sandy bottom. The open
area is a little over
100 feet long before
starting into another
section of slot
(wHogOneRP-03).
After the open area is a
down climb / slide of
about 15 feet into a
narrow slot.
A few feet farther is a
drop of about 12 feet
that can be a very
awkward start to down
climb. Lowering
yourself over the edge
and holding your arm
over a fin as you go
over can help ease into
the down climb.
This drop can be
anchored from a choke
stone near the top of
the drop if needed.
About 50 feet down
canyon is another drop
of about 10 feet.
This drop is more of a
steep slide where taller
people can easily spread
out to control their
slide. Shorter
people may not be able
to control the slide as
easy and may want a hand
line or thigh belay.
This drop can be
anchored from a flake
near the top of the drop
if needed.
Right at the bottom of
the slide down climb is
another down climb of
about 10 feet.
This drop is awkward to
start and can be done by
going over feet first on
your belly and getting
your feet to a sloped
ledge about 4 feet down.
From there it is overall
easy to complete.
This drop can be
anchored from a large
rock near the top of the
drop if needed.
Just after this drop is
another easy down climb
of about 10 feet just
before getting to a
boulder debris area.
You can down climb
through a hole in the
boulder debris for an
easy down climb or give
yourself a little more
challenge by climbing up
over the boulders and
down the other side.
At the bottom of the
boulders is an area that
could hold waist to
chest deep water for a
few feet if recent rains
have filled the canyon.
After the boulder down
climb is the start of a
narrow section for about
60 or 70 feet before
reaching an elevator
down climb of about 25
feet. At the
bottom of the elevator
the narrowness
continues. You can
walk on the floor but
will not fit with your
pack on.
Shortly after the
elevator the canyon
makes a sharp left right
jog where there is an
easy slide / down climb
of about 15 feet.
After this down climb
the canyon stays narrow
and still wide enough to
walk on the floor of the
canyon but is slanted to
the left making travel a
little awkward.
As this slanted section
continues the canyon top
starts to widen out up
higher and get narrow
below. Continuing
down canyon you need to
stem up above the canyon
floor for a ways as you
go into an area with a
few choke stones to
navigate over.
Soon the bottom starts
to widen out a little
and you are left with a
choice to continue high
or drop to the canyon
floor. Either
option works. Rap
1 is coming up which is
anchored form the top of
some boulders.
Staying high and
stemming down canyon
will get you to the top
of the boulders for rap
1. Going low on
the canyon floor takes
you under the boulders
that rap 1 is anchored
from. If you do
this it is an easy up
climb to the top of the
boulders.
Rap 1 (dHogOneR1) is
anchored from boulders
choked between the
canyon walls.
After setting up the
anchor and throwing the
rope over down climb on
the up canyon side down
under the boulders and
down climb a sloped
chute where you will
find your rope dangling
from above. Get on
rope there and rappel
the last 12 feet or so
to the canyon floor.
The total height of rap
1 from the anchors to
the floor is about 40
feet even though you
only rap 12 feet.
Be sure to extend the
webbing for rap 1 over
the boulder to allow for
an easy rope pull and
make sure only 40 feet
of rope travel is needed
for the drop.
After rap 1 are a couple
short easy scramble down
climbs as the canyon
veers right. Then
walk down canyon a few
hundred feet before
reaching a short section
of twisted walls with
short drops of 3 to 5
feet.
After the short twisties
the canyon slowly widens
out and gives way to
easy travel with some
boulder hopping over
rock fall debris.
About 1000 feet down
canyon of rap 1 a side
drainage joins in from
RDC (west). This
is where Hog 4 (Miss
Piggy drops into Hog 1.
Continue down canyon
over a few small pools
that are easily stemmed
over. About 250
feet from the junction
of Hog 4 and Hog 1 is
the top of an elevator
down climb into a deep
narrow slot
(wHogOneRP-06).
The elevator down climb
into the narrow slot is
about 30 feet and has
walls smooth enough to
allow a fun fast
elevator down. The
bottom of the slot has a
flat sandy floor to walk
on and is narrow enough
that you will likely
need to take your back
pack off to continue
through.
As you continue down
canyon in the slot the
walls are twisted and
scenic and slowly widen
out. A couple of
spots can hold water
about shin deep and can
be easily stemmed over
if you don't want to get
your feet wet.
About 250 feet down
canyon of the elevator
the walls widen out
allowing easy walking in
a wide slot.
Continue down canyon as
the walls continue to
get wider as the canyon
makes a slow long sweep
to the left.
Continue down the now
wider canyon with some
vegetation about 500
feet to the confluence
of the bottoms of both
the Hog 1 and Hog 2
canyons (yHog-1and2-Bt).
The Exit(s):
When you
get to the confluence of
the bottom of the Hog 1
and Hog 2 canyons
(yHog-1and2-Bt), you
have two choices for an
exit route. Option
one is the standard exit
which climbs up a ravine
southwest of Hog 4.
Option two is to climb
up the slick rock
between Hogs 1 and 2.
Exit Option One
- Standard Exit Route:
Option one is the
standard exit and is
about 1.6 miles back to
the parking spot for the
top entry to the Hog
System. This option
climbs up out of the Hog
Canyon area in a rocky
ravine to the flat
desert above. This exit
is shorter but involves
more scrambling up
boulders in the ravine.
This route also does not
involve the difficult up
climb that the other
option has.
If you entered the Hogs
from the top and are
done for the day this is
the shortest and easiest
route back to the car.
To follow option 1,
continue down the wash
about 0.4 miles to a
canyon joining in from
the left (northeast)
which is the bottom of
Hog 3 (yHog3-Bt).
As you head down the
wash down canyon of Hogs
1 and 2, look for a
way to get up on the
ledge on the RDC
(southwest) side to find
a use trail. The
use trail stays up out
of the wash to avoid wet
and heavy vegetation.
Note:
Walking down canyon all
the way to the bottom of
Hog 3 is optional and is
about 0.5 miles longer
than need be.
However I have not done
the shorter version and
can not give details on
it. If you wish to
route find your own way
for this short cut.....
From the bottom of Hog
1, continue down the
wash about 600 feet then
climb the left (west)
side of the drainage.
After finding your way
to the top continue
southwest and route find
your way about 600 feet
over to way point
wHogStndExRP-3.
When you get to waypoint
wHogStndExRP-3 continue
on the remainder of the
route as described.
From the bottom of Hog 3
(yHog3-Bt) walk west
directly across to the
other side of the
drainage you dumped
into. Route find
your way up the bank on
the west side up onto
the desert above.
The bank is about 40 or
50 feet high and a mick
of dirt and sandstone.
When you get to the top
of the bank
(wHogStndExRP-1), walk
north west traversing up
and along the dirt
covered hillside.
After about 400 feet the
route will begin to
level off a little into
a mix of rolling desert
and slick rock. As
the route levels off you
begin to get good views
toward the exit gully
/ravine to the north
west.
Note / Visual
Navigation Note:
As you get to a point
where you have good
views of the entire area
you will be able to see
Hog 3 to the northeast
and see over toward the
area for Hogs 1 and 2 to
the north. Look
north west for a large
ravine / gully running
north west up to the
rim. This gully /
ravine is the exit
route. To the left
(south or southwest)
will be a larger
drainage with an obvious
huge vertical head wall.
This is walking toward
the standard exit gully. Hogs 1 and 2 are to the right, the exit
gully is center image. Note the bottom of another canyon on the
left which has a huge vertical head wall which can be seen as you
continue the walk to the exit gully.
About 0.25 miles after
getting up out of the
drainage at the bottom
of Hog 3 the route
toward the exit gully
will cross over
(wHogStndExRP-2) a wide
slick rock drainage.
The point marked here
for crossing the
drainage is located at a
fork in the drainage
where the north fork
goes up to the exit
gully and the west fork
goes over to the side
canyon with the huge
head wall.
Cross over the drainage
and start traveling up
the slick rock running
up along the north side
of the drainage.
Following up out of this
drainage avoids
obstacles down in it.
About 450 feet after
crossing the drainage
you will get to what
feels like a top out in
the slick rock
(wHogStndExRP-3) where
you have a good view
over to the exit gully.
From this top out on
slick rock do not climb
any higher.
Instead traverse along
whatever route feels
comfortable to get over
and into the exit gully
a few hundred feet
ahead.
Scramble and hike your
way up the exit gully
for about 0.3 miles.
There is a lot of
scrambling on the way up
this gully but non of it
is overly difficult,
just a lot of it.
As you get near the top
of the gully you will
notice it begins to get
a lot steeper.
Keep an eye on the left
(southwest) wall and
look up high for an
obvious rock pinnacle.
Keep an eye on the left
wall as you get near the
top of the exit gully.
Look for this rock
pinnacle for a clue when
to start climbing the
left side wall along
ledges.
As you get roughly
parallel with the rock
pinnacle look for a
series of ledges to
climb up to get to the
ridge just above the
pinnacle. There
are multiple ways to
climb up the ledges.
Some of the spots to
climb up will feel a
little exposed and make
you think a little to
complete the moves.
There are only a couple
spots that may be
moderately difficult but
over all an easy series
of ledges to get up.
About 80 feet up you
will get to sloped dirt
to walk up.
After getting up onto
the ridge above the
pinnacle
(wHogStndExRP-5) walk up
the sloped dirt ridge
about 250 feet to join
the approach route in
the rolling desert (jHogStndExTop).
After meeting with the
approach route
(jHogStndExTop) veer
left and walk about 0.45
miles southwest on a
bearing of 216 degrees
back to the parking spot
for the top entry to the
Hogs (pkHogsUpper).
Exit Option Two
- Alternate Slick Rock
Exit:
Option two is begins
with a difficult up
climb on steep slick
rock (generally rated as
a 5.7) then becomes an
over all easy route
following up slick rock
to the desert above.
This route is the longer
option back to the cars
at the top entry coming
in at about 2 miles.
This is a good exit to
use if you plan to do
more than one Hog in a
day. Using this
exit gets you to the
desert above the Hog
system between the tops
of Hogs 1 and 2 making
the traverse over to any
of the Hogs easy.
If you are planning to
do a second Hog after
your exit up, this exit
is a good choice as it
will get you to the rim
in a spot to quickly
head over to the head of
any of the other Hogs.
To follow exit option
2.... When you get
to the end of Hog 1 at
the confluence of Hog 2
(yHog-1and2-Bt) turn
left (east) and start
into the bottom of Hog
2. Look for a
smooth steep sloped
section of slick rock
starting up the nose
between Hogs 1 and 2.
The base of the climb is
on a ledge above the
vegetated canyon floor
next to Hog 1.
Note / Warning:
The first 25 to 30 feet
of this exit involves a
steeply sloped almost
smooth section of slick
rock and is generally
rated as a 5.7 up climb.
If you are confident of
your skills for a slab
style up climb for about
30 feet you are good to
go. If you are not
confident in your
ability you should have
someone along on the
route that is if you
intend to use this exit.
The first person up can
tie a rope to them
selves and offer a meat
anchored hand line for
every one else.
The good thing is the
hardest part of this
route is the very first
30 feet. If you
check out the climb up
and decide it is not
what you want to do you
have not committed too
much time to the effort.
If you check it out and
decide you do not want
to make the climb you
can turn around and
follow the standard exit
up out of the Hog
system.
If you make it up this
climb the rest of the
route up is easy and
will get you to the rim
between Hogs 1 and 2
ready to go over to the
head of another Hog.
This is is the first 30
foot climb up the slick
rock exit. If you
make it up this the rest
is an easy up hill slog
on slick rock to the
rim.
After getting up to the
top of the 30 foot up
climb (wHogAltExRP-1)
route find your way
north up the wide
wandering slick rock
ridge.
About 0.35 miles up the
ridge you will begin to
see a distinct pointy
slick rock peak about
0.2 miles ahead.
Continue the 0.2 miles
up the slick rock to the
top of the peak
(wHogAltExRP-2).
From the peak the route
levels off and continues
north along the now dirt
covered ridge.
A little over 500 feet
after the peak is the
base (wHogAltExRP-3) of
a sandstone cliff band
about 40 feet high.
To continue the exit up
and back to the cars
parked at the upper
parking area, find a
spot to climb / scramble
up onto the top of the
cliff band then continue
north west about 600
feet to meet up with the
route that travels along
the tops of the Hogs (jHogSlickRkEx).
There is no specific
landmark here.
Note:
From the base of the
cliff band
(wHogAltExRP-3) if you
plan to go over to Hog 2
or Hog 3 do not climb up
the cliff band.
Instead veer right and
follow the ledge system
about eastish about 700
feet over to the head of
Hog 2. Or continue
beyond the head of Hog 2
wrapping around south
east then south down to
the top of Hog 3 about
0.5 miles away.
After meeting up with
the approach route turn
left and head west about
250 feet over to the
head of Hog 1 (yHog1Tp).
From the top of Hog 1
roughly follow the rim
and route find your way
west then wrapping
around southwest through
the rolling desert.
About 0.35 miles from
the top of Hog 1 will be
a wide dirt ravine /
drainage dropping down
from the rim and heading
down southeast.
This is the top of Hog 4
(yHog4-MsPigyTp).
Note:
From the top of Miss
Piggy the top entry
parking area is about 1
mile southwest on a
bearing of 208 degrees.
Continue south along the
rim crossing over the
top of a small sandstone
cliff band
(wHogsTopRP-01) about
700 feet away.
After crossing over the
sandstone cliff band
route find your way
southwest through the
desert back to the road
where you parked your
cars at the top entry
(pkHogsUpper).
