- Winter Waterfalls, Doughnut Falls Dry or Wet Rappeldoughnut falls trailhead, Salt Lake City, UT
Important reminder for all Meetup members!
If you've signed up for an event but can no longer attend, please be considerate of those on the waitlist and remove yourself from the "Going" list promptly. This will help us ensure that everyone has a fair chance to participate and make the most of our events. Let's all do our part to keep our community respectful and considerate of one another. Thank you!
Come Explore Doughnut Falls with me. The trail is one of the most popular in the area. Its a good hike up the trail to a gorgeous waterfall. There is little elevation gain from the trailhead to the waterfall. Snow and ice will be present so bring spikes and dress accordingly. If you plan to rappel the falls come prepared to get wet in freezing temperatures. A Dry rappel will be available as well. Snow shoes will make the trip much easier.
Priority will be given to those who have not attended Waterfall Wednesday in the past. This is an Intermediate level canyon because it’s a Class-CI Rated Canyon. We will be rappelling on a very slippery surface.
Required Equipment: winter gear, dry or thick wetsuits, harness, helmet, rappel device, personal anchor, self rescue equipment and carabiners. Optional Equipment: webbing, quick links, pocket knife, figure 8 or other blocking device, rope, VT prusiks or ascending device.
Dress appropriately for the weather (winter weather attire, snow shoes that can get wet, gloves, a change of clothes, and whatever else you may need to stay comfortable for the event).
- No +1 RSVPs. If you know someone who would like to attend, please have them join the meetup group and sign up using their own account.
- If there is inclement weather we will try other options.
- Restrooms will not be available.

We will be at Sand Creek in Torrey, UT and only 12 miles from the Capitol Reef Visitors Center. A group tent site is available. There are cabins and RV sites available as well. Showers will be available along with bathrooms, etc. The cost is $90 dollars for the event, per person, in addition to the camping that you will cover on your own. Spaces are limited to approximately 40 tents. Please keep your tent size to a minimum and maximize the space. Most will arrive on Wednesday night and stay until Sunday.
You are responsible for all food, camping gear, fees and canyoneering gear including harness, helmet, descender, ropes, safety tether, locking carabiners, closed toe shoes minimum, wetsuits, etc. Hiking at a reasonable pace is required. Elbow pads and knee pads standard equipment.
The annual Swedish Crepe Potluck tradition will continue this year!!! The Perfect Potluck will be provided so you can sign up for an item to bring. Dana and I will make the crepes! Also, don't forget the annual raffle where all attendees can win some really fabulous canyoneering gear and stuff!
The Wednesday start time implies that you should arrive Wednesday night if you want to run a canyon on Friday. THERE ARE ALWAYS PEOPLE ON THE WAITLIST. ATTENDANCE OF ALL 4 DAYS IS STRONGLY ENCOURAGED! There will be canyons to descend all 4 days. Sunday canyons will be short canyons so people can get on the road. At the latest, you should be ready to leave camp by 8:00 am each morning and prepared as needed for the canyon you will descend that day. Some departure times will be earlier. Each member will sign up for canyons the night before or early in the morning before the group leaves. There is a pavilion that will be our hub.
You can coordinate with the people in this group and arrange carpools, camping arrangements, among other things. Don't be deceived by the length of the canyon. Some locations will require shuttles or drives that will make many canyons a full day. Bring your wetsuit!
BONUS: THURSDAY, Shane will provide a full day of training for anyone that wants to learn the basics of canyoneering and then put it to use on Saturday and Sunday. I need to know if anyone is interested prior to the event.
