    You don’t sound OK Nick.

    FYI author and headline writer Soap Creek is not in the Grand Canyon. It’s in Marble Canyon between Glen Canyon and the Grand Canyon. Entrance to this hike is near Cliff Dweller’s Lodge on US 89A just before Navajo Bridge (if you were heading South to Flagstaff from Southern Utah).

    was in the national park’s Soap Creek Canyon when the fall occurred. These include not only Soap Creek Canyon, but also places such as Rider Canyon, Jackass Wash, Badger Creek and Soap Creek – all side canyons of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park.

      _Who_ your post is confusing. Are you saying there is a different Soap Creek canyoneering route within Grand Canyon National Park boundaries? If so would you please help me with location?
