Great video. Neon is high on my to do list. I assume it was substantially fuller than "normal"? It didn't look like the keepers were as difficult as I have heard and read. Thanks for posting. :2thumbs:

The "keepers" were non-existant. We swam over both. The upper keeper had about 2ft of water above the lip, and the lower keeper had about 5 feet above the lip. Having not been there before, I couldn't really tell you what's normal, however Kev said that this was as wet as he's ever seen it.

Dang, that is like a whole different canyon from what I remember with that much water. Thanks for posting. :2thumbs:

Excellent work on the video, Mike! Nicely edited. I still can't get over how full it was in there. I'd only been in once before, at which point the keeper just above the Golden Cathedral rap was full enough to easily swim over - and this was easily 4 feet (or more) deeper.

Next time, Mike - the full canyon!:2thumbs:

I'm down! Though it does mean that we can't roll out of bed at 8AM, mill around camp, cook a big breakfast, and then wander to the trailhead like this past time...

Great Video! Looks more like a water park!
