Technical Class Indicates the technicality of the terrain and the tyoe of rope work require.
1 -
Canyon Hiking Non-technical. No rope is required. See the route description for difficulties.
2 -
Basic Canyoneering Scrambling, easy climbing or downclimbing. A rope may be handy for handlines, belays, lowering packs and emergency use. Exit or retreat possible upcanyon without fixed ropes.
3 -
Intermediate Canyoneering Rappels or technical climbing and/or downclimbing. A rope is required for belays and single-pitch rappels. Retreat upcanyon would require fixing ropes.
4 -
Advanced Canyoneering Aid climbing, multi-pitch rappels and/or complex rope work (such as re-belays, tyrollean traverse, or guided rappels) may be required. Might also require difficult pothole escapes, serious squeezing, extensive high-risk downclimbing, or have difficult-to-establish natural anchors. Rappels longer than 200 feet will usually earn a canyon a Class 4 rating.
A
Water Rating indicates complications due to flowing or still water, under normal conditions.
A -
Normally dry or with very little water. Wading to waist deep at most.
B -
Water with no current or light current. Still pools. Falls are normally dry or running at a trickle. Swimming expected.
C -
Water with strong current. Waterfalls. Wet canyon rope techniques required.
III
Time or Grade indicates the length of the adventure.
I -
Short. A couple of hours.
II -
Requires about a half day.
III -
Normally requires most of a day.
IV -
Expected to take a long day. Get up early, bring a headlamp. Possible bivy.
V -
More than one day. Normally done in two days.
VI -
Two full days or more.
Additional Risk Rating indicates the presence of more risk factors than might be expected.
No Rating -
Normal risk factors are present on this adventure.
R -
One or more extraordinary risk factors exist that complicate the descent. Solid technical skills and sound judgment required. Not appropriate for beginners, even with competent leadership.
X -
Multiple risk factors exist that will complicate the descent. Errors in technique or judgment will likely result in serious injury or death. Descent should be attempted by expert canyoneers only. This is the least-well-established part of the rating system, and the most subjective. Use by beta-providers varies widely, to the point that this part of the rating means very little.

1. Approaches:
Bowl Approach
Approach GPS: 37.215556, -112.936111
Expect this approach to take around 3 hrs. Starting at a small pullout on Highway 9 a little less than 1/2 mile from the Canyon Overlook Trailhead, this approach takes you North in a fairly wide wash. A little more than a half-mile up the wash, exit the wash to the left and go up the slick sandstone. Once the slick rock levels out a bit, look to the left (West) and look for a wide bowl. Scramble up the bowl. Exit the bowl to the Northwest. You will see a vertical wall to the West after exiting the bowl and at the base of this wall are some neat pictographs. Follow the base of the vertical wall to the North and keep going up. Once, you reach the top of the slope above the wall where the petroglyphs are, turn left and route find your way down West/Northwest into the gully. At the bottom of the gully, turn right (North) and make your way down Lodge Canyon. Once you enter the canyon, the first rappel is still about another hour down the canyon.
Parking:
Zion - Mount Carmel Highway Parking
GPS: 37.215488, -112.936041
There are a handful of small pullouts along the Zion – Mount Carmel Highway near the approach trailhead for Lodge Canyon. So if the pullout that is directly in front of the approach trailhead is full, there are plenty of other pullouts just a little way down the road in both directions.
Bowl Approach Gallery:
Waypoints:
Leave Wash
GPS: 37.223150, -112.938030
A little more than a half-mile into this approach, find a reasonable spot to leave the wash and scramble up the slope to the left (West) of the wash.
Base of Bowl
GPS: 37.225177, -112.939846
After climbing up out of the wash, traverse North to the base of a large bowl. Head straight up the bowl.
Top of Bowl
GPS: 37.225720, -112.942100
Once you near the top of the bowl where it becomes the steepest, turn to the North and scramble up a short, steep section.
Petroglyph Wall
GPS: 37.226415, -112.942801
To reach the petroglyph wall, traverse West from the short scramble you just did and aim for the obvious slab of wall. Once you reach the wall, once again turn North and climb up to the top of the saddle.
Spry / Lodge Junction
GPS: 37.226419, -112.946449
From the saddle, work your way down to the Northwest to the junction of Spry and Lodge Canyon, finding the path of least resistance while avoiding the cryptobiotic soil.
Head of Lodge Canyon
GPS: 37.229591, -112.947357
From the junction of Spry and Lodge Canyon, head North to reach the head of Lodge Canyon.
3. Exit Time:
Watercourse Exit
Exit GPS: 37.246498, -112.953064
This is the recommended exit, especially if you want one more beautiful rappel to cap off your day. After Rappel 7 scramble down the watercourse until you reach the valley floor. Exit the watercourse near the Zion employee housing site. Then head up the main Zion Canyon to the Zion Lodge where you will take the shuttle back to the visitor’s center. Make sure you know what time the last shuttle leaves the lodge and plan accordingly.

Be sure to know when the last shuttle leaves before doing this canyon.
Game Trail Exit
Exit GPS: 37.246520, -112.952876
Scramble down the watercourse after Rappel 6. If deciding to bypass Rappel 7, there is a game trail West of the watercourse before it drops off the falls where Rappel 7 is located. Follow a series of game trails down to the valley floor. Once on the valley floor head up the main Zion canyon to the Zion Lodge where you can take the shuttle back to the visitor’s center. Make sure you know what time the last shuttle leaves and plan accordingly.

Lodge Canyon Rappels
6 - 7 rappels
Lodge Canyon is a canyoneering route in Zion National Park that shouldn't be overlooked. This canyon features a beautiful approach and rappels that present amazing views of Zion. Once started, the rappels come in rapid succession of one another. This canyon is not done very often, so bringing some extra webbing to rebuild any anchors if necessary is a good idea. There is a variety of bolted and natural anchors in this canyon. This canyon is rated a 4 because of the 200 ft. rappel in the canyon.
Rappel 1
Length: ft
Coordinates: 37.244744,-112.951083
Rappel 2
Length: 140 ft
Rappel 2 Anchor
Rappel 2 is anchored is in the narrow section of the slot that requires a short downclimb to get to. It consists of two bolted hangers with webbing.
Overview
The first half of this rappel is down a narrow, awkward thin slot, but then opens up for the second half. There is another option for this rappel anchored off a boulder to the left of the slot before down climbing in. It can seem somewhat exposed getting to that anchor but may offer a better rope pull. Do what you feel most confident and comfortable with.
Tips
The last person down should be aware of rope placement for the pull.
Rappel 3
Length: 15 ft
Rappel 3 Anchor
There is webbing around a boulder that serves as an anchor for this rappel.
Overview
Rappel down about 15 ft. and then downclimb/scramble down another 35 feet to a set of bolted anchors. You can also stay on rappel until you reach the next set of anchors if you do not feel comfortable downclimbing.
Rappel 4
Length: 45 ft
Rappel 4 Anchor
This rappel is anchored from two bolted hangers with webbing on the right-hand wall of the canyon.
Overview
This is a very important rappel! From the top of this rappel, the next anchor station is out of view to the around the corner RDC. Rappel down, sticking close to the wall RDC (as you rappel, this is the wall on your left) down to the buttress below. Do not go down the chute straight down. If you do so, you will be facing about a 400-foot drop to the bottom. Once you reach the buttress, turn East to find the next anchor.
Tips
Do NOT rappel past the buttress!
Rappel 5
Length: 200 ft
Rappel 5 Anchor
This anchor consists of two bolted hangers with a lot of webbing attached (about 35ft.).
Overview
This is the big rappel of the day and has what can be a somewhat awkward entry for the last person down. The top of this rappel provides a jaw-dropping view of the Zion canyon.
Tips
Use courtesy rigging for the first people down. The last person should make sure the webbing extends as far out to the edge as possible to avoid getting the rope stuck when pulling. Do a test pull before the last person descends.
Rappel 6
Length: 165 ft
Type of Rappel: Free-hang
Rappel 6 Anchor
Anchored off of two bolted hangers.
Overview
This is a fun rappel that is free-hanging for the majority of the rappel after the first 20 ft.
Tips
Upon reaching the free-hanging portion of the rappel, there is a slight overhang. To experience a more gradual entry to the free-hanging portion, stick to the left while rappeling the first 20 or so feet. Do not throw your rope too far out because it will get caught in the trees at the bottom.
Rappel 7
Rappel 7 Anchor
Anchored at the base of a small-sized tree.
Overview
Scramble down the watercourse until the creek flows down a waterfall. On the east side of the falls is a small tree where the anchor is located. This rappel provides a great view of the main canyon of Zion.

Lodge Canyon Trip Reports
October 7, 2020
We had a group of 5 that moved at a fairly slow pace. We completed the canyon in 9 hours. The approach was grueling as we slugged up the large bowl to the saddle before dropping into the head of Lodge Canyon. The canyon was dry except for the trickling springs at the last two rappels. As a note of caution, hug the wall as you descend the 4th rappel Do not rappel past the large landing, or you will have to be hauled back up. All anchors seemed to be in good shape. This canyon has a sweet, short exit compared to many of the other Zion canyons.
