My wife (Ruth), our friend Sarah, and I went down and did crack canyon on Friday. We really enjoyed it. We had never been down and I used:
http://climb-utah.com/SRS/crack.htm for the trail information. Here are some pictures if you're interested. (BTW- I posted these on our family website, and copy and pasted the captions here. Sorry if they seem hokey).

R is for Ruth (crazy tree)

Some parts required a lot of climbing

Mostly it was just beautiful

This was one of those areas that the pictures just weren't as cool

This whole canyon was like a playground for me.

When we came to this part, I jumped in and helped them get across without getting wet. It was really cold (even for being November)

We were able to crawl back up, instead of going in the water again.

Once we got our stuff back we weren't as fashionable :)

Nice pics.
I have always liked Crack Canyon, you gotta love the entrance on the back side of the reef. We were going to hit it up a few weeks ago but the road was washed out.
Thanks for sharing

Nice sunrise shot!!! Same here, we tried to hit that canyon but it was only a week after the massive flooding and it just wasn't in the books for that week. I will for sure though after those cool pics. :2thumbs:
