Hey Guys,

My girl and I will be in Zion 8/10-14. We have hiked there (Angels landing etc) but want to do some slots. We have a pass for the narrows (top-down) on the 11th and I am looking for some more slots that are do-able to folks pretty new at it. We are both in top shape but my girl has never rappelled and would rather start with some not so technical slots before we get into it further. I would really appreciate any suggestions/info at all. Thanks. Gear recommendations would also be appreciated..do I need to get 5-10 canyoneers for virgin narrows? About how long wil it take us ?(we are both in great shape- run-swim Mtn Bike daily)
I would really appreciate some feedback from the experts- you guys...thx
Mark

You'll get a better responce if you post this over in the canyoneering section.

Look for canyons with a rating 1 or 2.

some of the easier canyons that I like in Zion that don't need ropes or rappelling are Shelf Canyon turn around when you come to cliffs that block the end. The forks of Taylor Creek (north, south, middle) in the Kolob Canyons section of the park. Hidden Canyon from the bottom. Echo canyon from the bottom. You can find most of these with a route discription and map on Bo & Tanya's website.
