Water Note: Englestead used to be fairly dry, but floods have scoured out some pools. I would NOT take a wetsuit for Englestead in hot weather, but would in cooler temps. If doing the preferred route down Orderville, a wet suit is advised in all but the hottest times of the year. Lower Orderville has a lot of wading and generally a few short swims. It can be very cold in spring and fall!

Note: The first rappel has been the scene of several accidents and near misses. This is not a beginner canyon. All members of your group need to be highly skilled for the big rappel. It CAN be broken up into 3 rappels (30m, 60m, and 18m), but is better done in one long drop. If doing it as several shorter rappels, a group size of 3 or less is required, as the stances at the anchors are very small.

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.
