The Pioneer Register at Capitol Gorge. 
Before the construction of Highway 24, the Capitol Gorge was 
a primary east-west thoroughfare for 19th- and early 20th-century travelers.

The Grand Wash.
The washes can fill up pretty quickly in a rainstorm, and a hiker has little chance of escaping to higher ground once inside the wash. The soft, gravelly surface makes walking slow-going in there (more so when one is carrying twenty or thirty pounds of camera gear and a tripod). The Grand Wash is another level cut through the Waterpocket Fold.
