I'm headed to Zion next week-end. On the day of our drive back to So Cal, we wanted to do a short canyon (2-3 hours). We were going to do a Keyhole but after finding out the latest condition on candition.com (Canyon reeks), I'm not so sure anymore. Maybe Echo, but it takes a little longer. I looked at Tom's book but did not find a short enough one. Can anybody recommend one in Zion or just outside of Zion?
Thanks

It just rained a whole bunch, so Keyhole is tip top full of clear clean water.
The other really short choice would be Lower Refrigerator, which does not require a wetsuit.

Could hit Yankee Doodle on the way out, but a bit more of a drive...

Keyhole is good to go. :2thumbs:
Pine Creek is short...
Kanarra Creek might also work for ya...

Thanks for the new condition update. Great to hear. We'll be heading for Keyhole then.
