Hype:
Cheesebox Canyon is a decent canyon in Cedar Mesa. The approach and exit are quite long compared to the fun part of the canyon, which puts the canyon pretty low on my list of favorites. The canyon has several rappels and swims. Although definitely not recommended, a few people have downclimbed all of the drops rather than rappelling.
