Maple Canyon, Natural canyon in Sanpete County, United States
The canyon features conglomerate rock walls rising up to 300 feet high, embedded with rounded stones from pebble to boulder size throughout the formations.
The canyon's geological formation dates back millions of years when ancient rivers deposited cobblestones and sediments that compressed into the current rock formations.
Rock climbers from different countries gather at Maple Canyon to practice sport climbing across more than 40 distinct cliff sections.
Visitors need to bring their own drinking water to the campground, which offers basic facilities including vault toilets and first-come-first-served camping sites.
The narrow Box Canyon section extends half a mile with walls so close together that visitors can touch both sides simultaneously while walking through.
