Going at night is the best time since you can get excellent views of the city lights. 

We cracked a bunch of glowsticks and worked our way down the canyon 

The night sky, weather, city lights, and great friends made for a great evening visit here. 

The canyon itself has around 7 rappels in them that are up to 80 feet in length. 

Hang'em high canyon is a Sedona AZ classic located low on the cliffside just north of the enchanted town. 

There are many great canyons that surround the Sedona area and Hang 'em high canyon has an interesting appeal to it. 

I found that aspect in itself to be rewarding and nice as we didn't have to fight for parking. 

One side of me is happy people are getting out and enjoying the weather and the outdoors, but another side of me say the half mile of cars lined up, just for the hike to Devils Bridge. 

This in itself made me grateful to think that I am happy, canyoneering has not got to the place where we are waiting in line for a roller coaster ride through a canyon with the equipment supported by the participants= Canyoneering. 

Hang'em high canyon was a easy half day canyon and a nice stroll through the desert of north sedona. 

It was a cliff canyon, meaning that we could see the bottom from the top but it had its moments of scenery and fiery red walls. 

I would not consider this a destination canyon but it was a nice half day of solitude with friends and some fun raps. 

Redwall canyon is a rarely visited non-technical canyon in Death Valley. 

I am assuming the lack of a road leading to the canyon head, the lack of a sign, and a two mile hike with no trail might confuse a few people. 

That is a good sign for me to get into a canyon what has seen very few visitors.

Actually a place that has only seen one other group

We accessed Redwall canyon through the technical northwest fork . 

dropping into the drainage only required 5 raps to get into the main fork. 

There is a lot of effort that was put into that canyon for a unique and rewarding narrow canyon.

This was a very easy walk with some interesting colors and geology happening throughout the canyon 

There is one downclimb that used a handline in place. 

The handline looks pretty good as of this writing but it will need to be changed in the near future. 

There were some old school slings attached to the handline that might have been there for some time.
