Upper Sevenmile is a casual day with a few rappels and a
lot of easy to moderate downclimbs. The parking area described here is toward
the exit from the canyon. I prefer this prefer parking here so walking the dirt
road is at the beginning of the route instead of the end.
If you enter the top of this canyon and begin to see
water, it may be a good idea to turn around and fins another adventure. The
dirt here is very slick clay and can become a huge pain when wet. Some
sections of Sevenmile Canyon while easy when dry can become difficult, dirty
and not fun when with too much water.
There are to exits for Upper Sevenmile. The early exit
is to exit the canyon just before rap 4 and exit to the rim and walk back to
the car. The other option is to continue past rap 4 and down to the
confluence with Big East Fork and exit to the rim then walk rolling desert
back to the car. The route described here is for Exit option 2 but the map
shows both exit options.
To get to the Trailhead
Note:
There is a maze of roads on Ticaboo Mesa making it a good idea
to study the map ahead of time and keep a close eye on the map
as you drive.
From Hanksville, UT., drive south on highway 95 for 26 miles to
the junction of highways 95 and 276.
From the junction, drive south on HWY-276 for 25.6 miles then
turn left (east) onto BLM dirt-road 13400 between mile markers
25 and 26 (extTicaboo1).
About 1.5 miles from the highway is a junction (TicabooDP-01)
of BLM roads, 13400 continues east and 13410 branches off to the
south. Continue east on BLM road 13400. Note: If you were headed
to the Smith Fork area you would turn south onto BLM road 13410.
About 2 miles farther is another junction
(TicabooDP-02) of BLM roads, 13400 continues east and 13420
branches off to the south. Continue east on BLM road 13400.
Note: BLM road 13420 to the south goes out to Cane Spring Well
about 1.25 miles south.
About 0.2 miles farther is short side road (TicabooDP-03) on the
left (north) that goes to a camp area.
Stay right to
continue on BLM road 13400. Beyond this point the roads
will have intermittent rough sections.
About 0.37
miles past here is a fork in the road where the two roads rejoin
a short distance later. The low road is typically the
smoothest.
About 1.7 miles farther is another junction (TicabooDP-04) of
BLM roads (13400 continues north-ish and 13430 branches off to
the south).
Continue north on BLM road 13400.
Note: If you were going to the roads between Warm Springs Creek
and Sevenmile Creek, you would turn south onto BLM road 13430.
About 0.3 miles farther is another junction (TicabooDP-05) of
BLM roads (13400 continues northeast and 13440 branches off to
the north).
Continue straight northeast on BLM road 13400.
Note: BLM road 13440 to the south goes out to Colt Spring Well
about 0.4 miles north.
About 0.5 miles farther is a junction (TicabooDP-06) of BLM
roads (13400 continues northeast and 13450 branches off to the
north).
Continue straight northeast on BLM road 13400.
About 0.9 miles farther is a junction (TicabooDP-07) of BLM
roads (13400 continues northeast and 13430 branches off to the
south).
Turn south onto BLM road 13430.
Note: If you were
going to Tough, SF Ticaboo or Sleepytime Trio Canyons you would
continue northeast on BLM road 13400.
About 700 feet farther is a fork in the road (extWarmSpring).
At this fork veer right and and travel south toward the Warm
Springs area.
Drive the road south for about 2.21 miles 3.6 miles to where the
road makes a turn to the left (west). Park here at this
turn (PkMainFork). There is no specified parking spot here
so find a comfortable place to pull off the road near the corner
here.
To leave the Exit Vehicle / Escape Pod
No exit vehicle is needed. This is done as a loop route.

The Approach:
From the parking spot (PkMainFork)
walk north east up the
dirt road for about 0.6
miles.
Leave the road after
getting around a minor
hill (7MileMn01) off to
your right (east) and
walk east across rolling
desert about 650 feet to
subtle saddle. There is
no landmark here. Use
GPS or good map reading
skills to stay on
course.
Walk across the desert
for about 500 feet to a
subtle saddle
(7MileMn02) then walk
east toward the head of
Sevenmile.
About 0.3 miles east is
the top of a gully to
scramble down
(7MileMn03) to get into
Sevenmile (y7Mile-Tp).
The Canyoneering / Technical Section:
Once down in
Sevenmile (y7Mile-Tp)
walk / scramble south
down Sevenmile.
A little over 500 feet
down canyon is a short
section (7MileMn04) with
a couple potholes and
short downclimbs. Easily
bypassed up and over on
the LDC side.
About 400 feet farther
is a narrow section
(7MileMn05) with a
couple small potholes
and a downclimb of about
8 feet.
Shortly down canyon is a
drop (7MileMn06) of
about 15 feet that can
be easily downclimbed
with a handline set from
an anchor. Canyon stays
narrow for about 150
feet with one 5 foot
downclimb in there.
About 500 feet farther a
drainage joins in
(7MileMn07) from LDC as
the wash opens up to
wide easy wash walking.
About 0.23 miles farther
raps 1 and 2.
Rap 1 (d7MileR1-2) is
anchored from a rock
about 6 feet back and
drops about 12 feet over
boulders into deep slot.
Rap 2, at the bottom of
rap 1 anchored from a
large boulder and drops
about 15 feet.
Raps 1
and 2 could be combined
into one rap but the
pull would likely be
problematic.
The slot
after these raps is
short but pretty.
About 650 feet farther
is a downclimb
(7MileMn08) of about 8
feet over boulders where
a handline may be useful
but not mandatory.
Optionally you could
bypass this drop by
going up and over on the
RDC side.
About 350 feet farther
is an easy downclimb
(7MileMn09) of about 6
feet. Followed by a
couple more shorter
downclimbs.
A little over 300 feet
farther is rap 3.
Rap 3 (d7MileR3) is
anchored from a rock at
the top of the drop and
drops about 15 feet over
a huge boulder to a
large hole that will be
a super slick muddy mess
if water is present.
The canyon stays deep
and narrow for about 250
feet down canyon after
rap 3 and has 3 easy
downclimbs of about 6
feet each.
Shortly down canyon is a
downclimb (7MileMn10) of
about 15 feet easily
slide / downclimbed
followed by an 8 foot
easy downclimb just
before reaching the
confluence with the
Little East Fork. Both
downclimbs drop into
areas where water would
equal lots of slick
clay.
Just after these
downclimbs is the bottom
of (y7MileLEF-Bt) the
Little East Fork of
Sevenmile Canyon where
it joins in from LDC
(east).
Shortly after passing by
the bottom of Little
East Fork is a set of
boulders (7MileMn11) to
go under then an 8 foot
downclimb on the RDC
side of the final
boulder.
About 450 feet farther
is a deep cross joint
(7MileMn12) drops in on
the RDC (west) side.
Almost 200 feet farther
the LDC side wall looks
like you can easily
scramble up
(7MileMn13-EE) the LDC
(east) side to exit here
and rim walk up along
the north side of Second
Guess Fork. This has not
been confirmed but looks
like it would go.
About 150 feet farther
is a section of boulders
(7MileMn14) to downclimb
through where you can
climb down through a
rabbit hole. Followed
shortly by a 6 foot easy
stem style downclimb.
About 300 feet farther
is the bottom (ySecondBt)
of Second Guess Fork
where it drops into
Sevenmile Canyon.
About 850 feet farther
is the down canyon end
(j7MilEx1RP-01) of a
section about 150 feet
long where the RDC
(west) side walls are
low and have a few spots
where you can scramble
up. Scrambling up the
down canyon end of this
section provides the
easiest access.
Continue down canyon
past this early exit for
about 230 feet to the
top of rap 4.
Note:
If you intend to use
this early exit,
scramble up out of the
wash and travel northish
up the slopes. Just down
canyon of this exit the
canyon slots up again
and rap 4 is encountered
about 230 feet down
canyon. If you miss this
climb out spot and
mistakenly get to rap 4,
go back up canyon 230
feet to find this exit.
Rap 4 (d7MileR4)
can be anchored from
rocks at the top of the
drop and drops down the
LDC side of a huge
boulder a total of about
20 feet over 2 stages
around and under a the
boulder.
Note:
Skilled
downclimbers can
downclimb rap 4 with
partner assist and a
short rope. The first
person down can use a
handline provided by
someone at the top. The
first person down can
then stay at the bottom
of the first stage to
partner assist others
through the first stage
then follow down the
second stage which is
easy.
About 600 feet farther
is a short section
(7MileMn15) of boulder
debris to walk / boulder
hop through.
About 700 feet down
canyon is the bottom of
a chute (j7MilEx2RP-01)
on the RDC (west) side
to start the beginning
of Exit Two from the
Seven Mile Canyon
system. The chute
looks like it will be
steep and difficult to
climb up but actually
goes pretty easily.
Note:
This chute may be easily
overlooked when
traveling down
Sevenmile Canyon since
it goes up steeply in
the up canyon
direction. If you
miss this climb out spot
you will get to the bottom of
Big East Fork about
140 feet down canyon on
the LDC (east) side.
If that happens go back
up canyon about 140 feet
looing for the steep
rugged chute. FYI
the confluence with Big
East Fork has odd
geometry and is also
easily overlooked but
very obvious when
looking for it.
Pay attention so you do
not find yourself
wondering way down into
lower Sevenmile Canyon.
The Exit:
From the
base of the chute
(j7MilEx2RP-01) start up
the chute.
The chute looks like it
will be a difficult
climb out but actually
goes pretty easily.
The first couple hundred
feet the chute is steep
and has a lot of loose
rock so be careful about
what you trust. At
the top of the chute you
will find yourself on
slick rock that is a lot
more solid.
From the top of the
chute continue northwest
following a fault line
in the slick rock.
Following up this fault
involves walking up a
steep slope and a couple
short spots of easy
scrambling. About
0.22 miles up the
slickrock will top out
just after scrambling up
another very short chute
(j7MilEx2RP-02).
After topping out on the
slickrock
(j7MilEx2RP-02) you will
be on a large dirt ledge
/ shelf just below the
rim. Right at the
top out is also the
bottom of a rubble pile
to the northwest
creating a break in the
rim. Route find
your way about 350 feet
up the rubble pile to
the top of the rim
(j7MilEx2RP-03).
To finish the exit up
out of Sevenmile walk
northwest about 0.55
miles across rolling
desert back to the
parking spot
(PkMainFork).
Note:
If you were going over
to the Double Deuce
Parking spot you would
walk southwest across
rolling desert about 0.8
miles going around
various small drainages
making your way back to
that parking spot.

Bottom of a chute on the RDC (west) side to start the beginning of Exit Two from the Seven Mile Canyon system. The chute looks like it will be steep and difficult to climb up but actually goes pretty easily. The first couple hundred feet the chute is steep and has a lot of loose rock so be careful about what you trust.
Note:
This chute may be easily overlooked when traveling down Sevenmile Canyon since it goes up steeply in the up canyon direction. If you miss this climb out spot you will get to the bottom of Big East Fork about 140 feet down canyon on the LDC (east) side. If that happens go back up canyon about 140 feet looing for the steep rugged chute. FYI the confluence with Big East Fork has odd geometry and is also easily overlooked but very obvious when looking for it. Pay attention so you do not find yourself wondering way down into lower Sevenmile Canyon.

Can park up near the top of Sevenmile but prefer parking here so walking the dirt road is at the beginning of the route instead of the end. No specified parking spot here so find a comfortable place to pull off the road near the corner here. Walk north east up the dirt road for about 0.6 miles.
