Sometime this fall, I want to do a bit of exploring on top of the mesa containing Kolob Arch. I probably descend a canyon too. Unfortunately, we may have to carry water up there since it's hard to do much exploring on a day trip, which means cooler weather is best.
If anyone is interested in putting together a trip like this, let me know.
Edit:
I just looked closely at Google Earth though. Guess I should have done that a long time ago. http://canyoncollective.com/uploads/...s/facepalm.gif Kind of embarrassing. It looks like although we were on the same level as Kolob Arch, the bench pinches out in a short section ( if I remember right, the topo map indicated a possible narrow bench). Bummer; the route has been on the backburner for many years.
Maybe I'll go anyway though and see if there's anything interesting in the canyon (the one west and parallel to Icebox).
