07/20/13 - Water Canyon (Hilldale)
Unfortunately, I was unable to make it on this trip (lousy last-minute work schedule) but Jeff Guest and gang, were able to do this with Nick North and few other buddies the day after completing Imlay.

Be sure to watch it at 1080p!
Water canyon is an awesome canyon located on the UT/AZ border just outside of the Hilldale/Colorado City polygamist community. The dirt road out there was muddy. This canyon is pretty cool because you hike up right along the side of the canyon proper most of the way up. and you can bypass the last 2 rappels if you want because the trail is right there! Be sure to go all the way to the top instead of dropping in early so you can get the good stuff! This canyon is now one of my favorites and will be done again soon and the best part is there is no permit required! Just a heads up, Nick went back down to do the canyon again 2 weeks after I shot this video and that pool that Chase and I jumped into off the log is now filled with sand and no water! It's crazy how fast canyons can change!

I shot this video with my GoPro HERO3 Black Edition camera at 1080p at 30fps and edited with iMovie. I had my GoPro mounted to my GoScope Extreme which is a telescoping pole and it works great with the J-Hook mount! Get your GoScope at
