Fun Canyon
5/21/16: With Rachael. Driving directions on this page were spot on. We did have a little bit of trouble deciding if we were in the right wash though, there are a couple of minor washes before the first big one. I think we ended up in a minor side wash at first (no footprints) but we merged with the right one shortly after (had footprints) and the first rap let us know we were in the right place.
11/13/21: With Scot. Climbers exit seems better marked than 5 years ago, and we saw 3 bolts along the way.

Undercover (Lost and Found)
Shaylee and I met Bill and Erin in order to try Undercover Canyon. We originally planned to go to the Roost, but we heard that conditions weren't the best right now and it would have been a longer drive.
For the drive, we left early in the morning. The canyon itself went pretty well, but we got stuck behind a slower group. Once in the canyon, it was pretty nice and we enjoyed it at a leisurely pace.
The exit was actually quite a bit spicier than I expected (this was before the exaggerated sign at the trailhead existed). It was not difficult, but it was exposed. After exiting the canyon, we headed off to find the impressive Covert Arch. After enjoying the arch, we returned to the vehicles in order to find a campsite. Strangely, there is perfect cell phone coverage in the area and it was good enough to sing campfire songs over the phone with my wife.
Nice adventure on the way home from Moab… I was pleasantly surprised with this - expected it less spectacular and shorter…Will come for MMI - ran out of time to do both (late start).
