Englestead has one of the most dramatic starts of any canyon in Zion. It goes from an open, shallow canyon to a slot in one spectacular 300' drop! I first did the canyon in 2003, and over the years had forgotten the details, except that first rappel. When I went back and re-visited it in 2012, the first rappel was indeed as spectacular as I had remembered. The rest of the canyon is good as well, and offers two choices of exits: a spectacular, but longer exit out the bottom of Orderville, or a shorter, less good exit up Orderville.
The big rappel also tends to burn a lot of time for groups. If your group size is more than 3, beware going down Orderville may make for a very long day. A group or 2-3 can likely go out the bottom of Orderville in 8-10 hours, but larger groups may take much longer. Consider the shorter route up Orderville if you group is large or less skilled.
