I'll start things off....

I didn't get a lot of great pictures in 208 because my camera needs to be replaced.... but here is one of my favorites from 2008. It's a picture of my daughter and I in the slots. :2thumbs:

Can't beat doing canyons with your kids for a feeling of accomplishment.

Me in Englestead/Photo by Jim Draheim during Zion Rendezvous

[shaggy125]

I drug my new camera through a total of I think three canyons this year, it's just too big and awkward to carry, but I did get some good shots when I took it.

On rappel in NEON Canyon. I believe (Monti) Dan took this photo?

Here are a few my husband and I took during our first ever season of canyoneering!

[trackrunner]

One of my favorite pics. Tanya took this one. She also took another one that is on Bo's camera of a reflection off the water of a rappeler in the same canyon. One of them should finally post it.

Hint it's the canyon you probably do the most. Do you know now?



































Water Canyon

[AJ]

Great photos all.

Here's the one I like best of me; was taken by Kelsey. It's at the big drop to Lake Powell after doing Sinusitis / Fun Slot.

I tried, but couldn't narrow down my pics to 5; so for those interested, here's a link to a snapfish album with my favorites of 2008...

Is that the rope squeezing rap into the pool where the 2 canyons come together?

Knew I recognized it, just couldn't place it.

That's the "flat rappel" across two pools that are just bridgeable. Up near the top, the first mandatory rappel, but usually the second rappel.

[tuffshed]

Ok, here goes... Keyhole Canyon anyone?...

[tuffshed]

Thank you sir, may I have another ? Keyhole

[tuffshed]

Crawling through the belly of the beast

[tuffshed]

Yes I KNOW it's a standard shot....but I like this one

[tuffshed]

Another tipico shot, but my mom says it's nice.

[jwurst]

Nice photo of Golden Cathedral! :2thumbs:

[heliski2]

Awesome pics everyone!
Here are a few from a trip we should NOT have made. Eye of the Needle way too early in the season after a big snow year - photos taken on May 3rd.

[heliski2]

Here is one more. We had a surprise dinner guest visit us in White Roost in September. It was about 9" and absolutely beautiful.

[nat]

Wow, that's an incredible centipede! :2thumbs: I've never seen one like that in southern Utah.
