On May 30th, 2016, Aaron, Christian, Cole and I explored Temple of Doom. We did not expect this canyon to hold much water, so we did not bring wetsuits. Unfortunately for us, there was a LOT of water in the canyon, so we turned back once we got cold.

The part we explored was great. We were lucky enough to catch a gorgeous section of slot at high noon, so the lighting was sublime. I'll be back to see the rest soon, wetsuit in tow.

Christian was brave enough to bring his serious camera through the slot. I'm glad he did, the photos turned out great!

The official Oakie Crew group photo. I'm sure glad these guys made the dive out to Utah (again!).

Explored?

Not in the official trademarked canyoneering sense. We just poked around and got to know the area.

Not like-

"Sir Earnest Shackleton explored the wild and frozen continent of Antarctica."

More like-

"Tom Jones' finger explored the inner reaches of his nasal passage."

:haha:

I'm confused about the difference... Both seem like quite a thorough exploration!
