We'll do a canyon again soon..... I'll see you at Tom's Swell Fest if not before. I'll let you know if something comes up before then.

North Wash is really cool, but I've done most of that stuff dozen's of times. Might could find something new in the Roost. I have about half a dozen undocumented Zion area canyons I am chomping at the bit to get into if the weather would ever clear up.

The flow is high, but it seems to be lower than last year at this time...

I'm watching it closely because we have some plans for early May in Zion... If anyone does any trips in the next while, I expect detailed beta on the water level... etc.

Here's a link for this year's current graph in "presentaition quality" (to compare to last years that I managed to have saved still)

NOTE - THIS GRAPH IS OF LAST YEAR - NOT THIS YEAR - IT'S FOR COMPARISON PURPOSES:

The Snowpack looks like it still has a bunch to melt too:
