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.
