Can anyone tell me what the road/canyon conditions are for Maple Canyon? I want to take the kids and dogs for a hike there next weekend. thanks

Thank you Scott. That is about what I figured, but nice to hear from actual experience. I have a wetsuit and neoprene socks.

I am planning a trip the 2nd week of April. I was thinking of either doing Oderville or Chute of Muddy Creek if the water is not too bad. I know that conditions vary wildly from year to year and I...

I am going to scout camp with my boy for a few days. i will have some time to kill in the while the boys are doing merit badges. I can take my road bike and ride up to Mirror Lake and back, but would...

Orderville in Zion is a great day hike. Bring a 30' of rope for handlines. water level in the narrows can be an issue in May, but i doubt it this year (no snow pack).

Has anyone been down to Buckskin lately? is there any water to worry about?

Thanks,

Great advice. Thank you both for the good info.

thank you! I am familiar with House Rock Valley Rd and Long Canyon. I will take a look at Cottonwood Wash/Brigham Plains

thanks for the tip. Sorry if I am a little think, but I am a little confused on which direction from Mt Carmel this spot is. It is on SR-9, not US-89? so is it West of Mt Carmel?

I had forgotten...

Does anyone know of decent camping on the east side of Zion? i'd rather be on BLM land than in a formal campsite, but will take whatever I can find. I have camped at the top of Orderville and it was...

No way!
That is mine !!!! it is a Go Pro and it was in a the waterproof housing (at least when i dropped it).
I think there was a silver address label on the camera body.
Please contact me to...

The only place I have camped is at the Orderville trailhead. There are no facilities, it is a bit off the road highway, but in the fall & mid-week I think you'ld be alone.

nice vid ! Thanks for posting.

I did Orderville twice last year and were you were jumping there used to be a large log to climb down. It looks like it got flushed. I love that canyon.

I have a question about the area surrounding lakes blanche, Florence, & Lillian. I have only been up there in winter and only to the lakes so I do not have the best idea of the terrain from the...

Shane, love the email from the lady who lived there...thanks for repositng that. how safe would it be to float the chute at present water flow? would you just bounce off the walls and turn it into a...

did you float the gorge from Hidden Splendor or the Chute from Tomich Butte to Hidden Splendor?

Hiked the Chute in Oct 2009. Camped at Hidden Spendor, left a bike, drove to Tomsich and left the car. Hiked in Keens and neoprene socks and a walking stick (you will want this when wading). Camped...

I have had many of these for surfing while living in So Cal. they are good, american made, and not too much $$. i have used mine in a few canyons and they have held up fine. you have to order online...

You have been given lots of good advice already. I would echo Zion and vicinity in the summer, Arches, Canyonlands, the San Rafael Swell, and Moab are too hot then. If you only have a short window to...

most of this trip was wading in knee-high water or lower, but there were 3-4 neck/swim sections. the mud is sticky and sucks off shoes...beware and tighten them up.

This was from Oct 2009. this section was neck deep/swimming.

great trip. I did it solo and it was fantastic. This was the week of the raging thunder storms which made things interesting. I got to Red Castle about 10:30 pm after 3.5 hours on the trail. But I...

Trial Lake has tons of options. you can go up and over the Notch to Meadow lake and then make it a loop with some cross country back to Trial. It would be a very nice long day hike.

At the top of...

I was going to go solo but my wife aint to happy about it, so...
I am looking for a partner for this trip this week. I am leaving Thursday afternoon. the plan is to hike to Lower Red Castle Thursday...
