I guess Zion owns the National Park, since she called it Zion's National Park?

A great favorite of many is the slot canyon, http://climb-utah.com/Zion/pinecreek.htm (http://climb-utah.com/Zion/pinecreek.htm) Pine Creek. This is a technical canyoneering slot that has some of the most incredible views and rappels. You will need a Zion backcountry permit to enter Pine Creek Canyon. There are five rappels, several cold pools you’ll swim in, and wade in about one mile of stream. You’ll want to get a dry suit for this slot canyon. A 60 meter rope for the rappelling is recommended, 5- feet of extra webbing, some carabiners and ATC devices for the rappels, and don’t forget your camera to take those beautiful shots of the scenery.

Sweet... gotta love that free publicity. :2thumbs:

San Fran???

You, sir mark, I believe have been deceived. The Examiner seems to be a user-driven national newspaper website. As in amateur. As in, NOT "The Examiner" but perhaps they want you to think it is...
