Hiking this difficult 4 miles up a canyon past the Checkerboard Mesa, across endless slickrock, and down a steep crack gets you access to the upper portion of the East Fork of the Virgin River. This area is known as the Barracks, and resembles the popular Narrows, but has very few people visit this canyon due to its remoteness. Notice the silver 'sheen' on the wall above the water. There is a series of waterfalls downstream from this point.
