We have this canyon here. Many expensive houses are built right on the rim. The view is fantastic and they pay a huge premium price for it. However, the bottom of the canyon is full of large rocks that have broken off over the centuries. There are lots of cracks and setting a 100k pound house on top of one won't negate the affects of gravity a bit.

Look Ma-- top of the world--

For those interested in the location...it's very well known

Horseshoe Canyon....located in a 'detached unit' in Canyonlands NP'

Very remote......32 miles east from Hwy 24 on a fairly well graded BLM dirt road

Well worth the hike if you're up for it....the first section leads down 1.5 miles down to the canyon floor

With approx 1000' elevation drop...remember you have to come back up ! Expect 7-8 miles total trip

Two other ways to get into the canyon from the east & south...but are much more remote 4x4 trails

Walking the canyon is relatively easy once down....critters ?

Desert Bighorns very active...many many tracks but no sightings...Burros also..

Video (not mine) does a good job showing it....Wouldn't advise a summer visit at all...

Early in the video...you can see the 'crack' at the bottom of canyon

Jump Joe, jump.

Damn it Martha, the realtor said it was gently sloping, suitable for building.

Thanks for the video
Brings back some great memories
Beautiful canyons out there
Fairyland canyon was beautiful despite the name
Some interesting hikes
First couple educated me

If he climbed that Crack to the top freestyle, I give him credit.
