Reccomendations for best non Zion wet canyons for the end of the week?

Here's some I can think of.
Moab:
Professor Creek and maybe Entrajo.
San Rafael Swell:
Upper Iron Wash or Zero Gravity.
I'd also say the Black Boxes and Muddy Creek, but the water is almost surely still too high. Wait until it drops.
White Canyon:
Fry, Gravel, Long, Short, Cowboy, or Black Hole.
Greater Robbers Roost and Henry Mountains Area:
Lower Maidenwater or Crescent Creek Slot. Maybe Woody? I haven't done that one.
Escalante:
Boulder Creek, Death Hollow, 40 Mile/Willow, Choprock, and Neon (bugs will be bad along the river).
Egypt 1, dunham, red breaks escalante.
we just did birch hollow technically not zion and no wet suit needed
Upper Calf Creek down to the top of the lower falls is fun and easy. Also, I enjoy Deer Creek, which is just east of Boulder. Head downstream on that one and get an early start, as the best part starts after an hour of so of hiking.
I checked the Black Box this weekend and it would be a death trap at the moment. It will probably be at least a month before they are doable.

How's the bushwhacking and poison ivy? Although photos of the canyon look beautiful, I have avoided that canyon since I have heard stories of nasty bushwhacking and poison ivy.
(Now that I think of it, Boulder Creek might be tricky with high water-maybe Deer Creek too?).
We did the black hole on Saturday water seemed lower than usual the log that usually climb up and climb down the Rope we swam under it. I may be losing my marbles but didn't there used to be a sign at the parking lot?

I haven't looked into conditions recently but a weekend that includes The Squeeze and Quandary has been calling my name lately.
Yup, a little kiosk sign.Quote:
