About Shunes Creek Wild and Scenic River

"Shunes creek has its origins on the rim of the Vermillion Cliffs in the Shunes Creek Canyon drainage within the Canaan Mountain Wilderness. It enters the parcel from the east and exits into the Canaan Mountain Wilderness on the west. Shunes Creek has exceptional scenery and outstanding geologic features that are similar to those in Zion National Park. Exploration and rock climbing opportunities abound in the area and are enhanced by their proximity to Zion. Don’t Miss: Unparalleled scenery and solitude. "
