Starting in BLM territory, we hike down the access road in the early morning light. Isn't there
supposed to be a canyon somewhere around here?

The mouth of Orderville Canyon starts suddenly at a 120-ft dryfall.

Once in the canyon, things quickly get dark and deep.

Our first significant obstacle of the day: a 15-foot high boulder at the border of the park.
