Rating
3
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.

Select your approach, exit, and any shuttles in order to calculate an estimated time
1. Approaches:
West Rim from the Grotto
Approach GPS: 37.259957, -112.951532
Starting at the Grotto, head up the trail to Angel’s Landing and up the steep switchbacks leading you to the Angel’s and Scout’s Landing junction. Continue by following the West Rim Trail. Along the way, you’ll cross a bridge above a wash. About 2 hours into your hike, you’ll pass the entrance to Behunin Canyon. Beyond where you would drop in if you were doing Behunin, you will encounter two long switchbacks. When you reach the top of the switchbacks, follow the now dirt trail to a junction. The two trails at the junction are marked by posted signs. Follow the trail for “Telephone Canyon” (the one to the RIGHT). Less than 1/4 mile after the junction, the trail parallels Telephone Canyon about 100 yards to the West of the canyon. Leave the trail and descend a short distance to the East. Aim for the wash/drainage. The first rappel is easy to find once you get down to the edge of the canyon.
Parking:
Zion Visitor's Center Parking
GPS: 37.199141, -112.986768
Because the approach at The Grotto is along the scenic byway in Zion, you must park at the visitor’s center and then take a shuttle from the visitor’s center to The Grotto shuttle stop.
West Rim from the Grotto Gallery:
Waypoints:
Angel's Landing / West Rim Junction
GPS: 37.274866, -112.950732
From the Angel’s Landing Trailhead at the Grotto, follow the trail to the toilets up near the chains section of Angel’s Landing. This is the junction of the West Rim Trail and the official Angel’s Landing Trail
West Rim Trail Bridge
GPS: 37.285983, -112.955816
Continue on the West Rim Trail from the West Rim Trail and Angel’s Landing Trail junction for about 30 minutes at a leisurely pace and then you will reach a small bridge that crosses over a wash.
West Rim Exit Link Up
GPS: 37.28676, -112.95878
This is where you will link up with the West Rim Trail again after you exit Telephone Canyon. You can see Telephone Canyon to the Northwest of this location. This point is for your reference. Keep following the West Rim Trail to continue the approach.
Behunin Canyon Top Entry
GPS: 37.282732, -112.969854
A little less than a mile from the bridge you will start up some switchbacks that will lead you to a short saddle. At the top of the saddle is where you would drop into Behunin Canyon if you were doing that canyon.
Switchback 1
GPS: 37.285497, -112.968072
Switchback 2
GPS: 37.284527, -112.969283
No additional information currently available.
Telephone Junction
GPS: 37.286756, -112.968552
After the switchbacks, you will come upon a junction in the trail. There is a sign at the junction that marks the two distinct trails. Go right at the junction which is labeled “Telephone Canyon.”
Leave Trail
GPS: 37.29290, -112.96997
Leave the trail here and head down to the wash to the East. You will come to the head of Telephone Canyon about 100 yards from the trail.
3. Exit Time:
Telephone Drainage Exit
Exit GPS: 37.29114, -112.96562
After the last rappel, follow the waterway until the canyon opens. Stay somewhat high and on the right side of the drainage until you meet up with the West Rim Trail. Follow the West Rim Trail back down past Angel’s Landing all the way to the Grotto bus stop to catch the shuttle out. Make sure to know what time the last shuttle leaves and plan accordingly.
Parking:
Zion Visitor's Center Parking
GPS: 37.199141, -112.986768
Because The Grotto shuttle stop, from which you will return, is along the scenic byway in Zion, you must park at the visitor’s center and then take a shuttle from Grotto to the visitor’s center.
Waypoints:
West Rim Exit Link Up
GPS: 37.28676, -112.95878
Once you get to the West Rim Trail take a left and head East, following the trail back to The Grotto shuttle stop.

Telephone Canyon Rappels
12 - 16 rappels
Rappel 1
Rappel 1 Anchor
Rappel 1 is anchored off a large pile of rocks. This cairn anchor takes about 20-25 ft of webbing.
Overview
This rappel is the biggest one of the day and drops you a fun 150 ft.
Tips
There could be some water in a shallow pool at the bottom, so consider throwing your rope a little more RDC.
Rappel 2
Length: 15 ft
Type of Rappel: Optional
Rappel 3
Length: 35 ft
Type of Rappel: Standard
Rappel 3 Anchor
Anchored from two bolted hangers.
Overview
You can stay on rappel for the full 35 ft. until you get to the choke stone where Rappel 4 is, or you can get off rappel after the first 25ish ft. and downclimb to the choke stone. The second half of the rappel/downclimb is at an awkward angle.

Rappel 7 Anchor
This rappel is anchored from a log in the waterway.
Overview
Rappel down a short slot with a couple of small twists until you reach a small choke stone RDC that serves as the anchor for Rappel 8. This rappel can be and easily combined with Rappel 8. After Rappel 7 (if combining with Rappel 8), walk about 30 ft. and then downclimb about 8 ft. to the next rappel station.
Tips
Combine with Rappel 8 to save time.
Rappel 8
Length: 12 ft
Type of Rappel: Standard
Rappel 8 Anchor
A small choke stone RDC. Webbing is tucked in the right side of the stone.
Overview
This rappel can be and easily combined with Rappel 7. After Rappel 8 (or Rappel 7 if combining the two), walk about 30 ft. and then downclimb about 8 ft. to the next rappel station.
Tips
Combine with Rappel 7 to save time.
Rappel 9
Length: 50 ft
Type of Rappel: Two-Stage
Rappel 9 Anchor
Rappel 9 is anchored from a large choke stone in the waterway. You may have to reach underneath the choke stone to reach the part of the webbing with the rappel ring.
Overview
Rappel 9 drops 30 ft. over the first stage and then about another 20 over the second stage. You will rappel beneath a large overhanging part of the rock during the first 30 feet. You will notice rope grooves in the rock LDC when you drop the final 20 ft.
Tips
The webbing is extended at least a solid foot from the choke stone, so you will not be weighted in your harness until the webbing is fully extended. Use the webbing as a hand-line until you can extend it fully and get weighted in your harness.
Rappel 10
Length: 25 ft
Type of Rappel: Standard
Rappel 10 Anchor
This rappel is anchored from a medium-sized boulder.
Overview
Tips
There is a downclimb down a slippery angled slope that drops about 10-12 ft. at the bottom of Rappel 10. A crack runs down the middle of the angled slope that you can use to wedge your feet, arms, and hands into. There is an anchor that can be used around a pile of small boulders at the top of the downclimb if preferred.

You can stay on rappel for the full 35 ft. until you get to the choke stone where Rappel 4 is, or you can get off rappel after the first 25ish ft. and downclimb to the choke stone. The second half of the rappel/downclimb is at an awkward angle.
Rappel 4
This is an awkward rappel down and angled slot and is very slick towards the bottom.

Rappel 7
Rappel down a short slot with a couple of small twists until you reach a small choke stone RDC that serves as the anchor for Rappel 8. This rappel can be and easily combined with Rappel 8. After Rappel 7 (if combining with Rappel 8), walk about 30 ft. and then downclimb about 8 ft. to the next rappel station.

Rappel 9
Rappel 9 drops 30 ft. over the first stage and then about another 20 over the second stage. You will rappel beneath a large overhanging part of the rock during the first 30 feet. You will notice rope grooves in the rock LDC when you drop the final 20 ft.

Telephone Canyon Trip Reports
November 19, 2020
There are a handful of both natural and bolted anchors in this canyon. A number of the rappels can be skipped by downclimbing or connecting rappels together. All bolted anchors and webbing seemed to be in good shape. Fun canyon with lots of rappels!
October 9, 2021
The approach was straightforward and the first rappel was easy to find. I do not think that this canyon gets run very often so come prepared to do some anchor building. There were quite a few rough-looking anchors in this canyon. We replaced two anchors that were in bad condition. Our group of 4 went the day after quite a bit of rain, so there was a decent amount of water in the canyon (still no swimmers). All water can be avoided with some work. There are about 3 rappels that have an awkward or swingy start. The exit does not have a very well-established trail, so we stuck to the right (RDC )up above the wash once the canyon opens up completely. We stayed on the slanted rock until we reached the West Rim Trail again.
