They are probably trails you've already looked at, but I love all the little hikes around Stella, Teresa, and Brown lakes. They are right in the shadow of Wheeler Peak and are good for kids. You...

The Uintas for sure. They're high, remote, beautiful mountains about an hour east of Salt Lake City. Some of the other people on here will probably be able to recommend specific trails better than I...

Welcome! Ogden is amazing. I moved here for school and never left. If you really want to punish yourself on your bike, you have to add North Ogden Divide Road (I think it's really called North Ogden...

Well Said, CarpeyBiggs. I for one, am completely uninterested in anything like the "World Canyoning Tournament". Maybe I'm naive, but I can't imagine a scenario like what Peakbaggers described...

Buzz Burrell I presume? Thanks for the input. You’re time on the “Zion Trifecta” (and about a million other things!) is amazing and inspiring. You’re right about the most logical solution being to...

Yikes! What happened to cause the achor to fail?

Wow! The Bob Marshall looks amazing. Thanks for posting about it here or I don't think I would ever have known it existed. So tempted by it and scared of it at the same time!

I've been thinking, as much as I like CarpeyBiggs idea of a multiday monster race, I think it would alienate a lot of people who would otherwise like to join us. At least for our first try at this,...

What if we had a list of gear needed, the hardest canyon's rating (but not its name), and any other pertinent information, but still left the location a mystery. If we disclose the location and a...

April sounds great. How about the weekend of the 21st?

As far as safety concerns go, I think we have to keep the responsibility on ourselves as the participants. Sleep or not, do the canyons...

I like the way you think! Does this mean you don't want the course to be a surprise? I kind of like the idea of showing up ready for a race like the one you describe, but having no idea what canyons...

Compelling ideas. I really like the multiday suggestion in particular. I have to admit, I was imagining something much simpler. What direction do people want to go with this:

1. A completely...

I for one have no intention of doing anything to compromise the safety of my partner or myself in the name of speed. I just think this sound like a great opportunity for some laughs and good ole...

We can absolutely run! For me, that's half the fun! We would only have to insist that everyone obey speed limits and drive safely between canyons. You're right about potential problems with having...

What if we had someone like Tom (assuming he doesn't want to compete) come up with a list and not tell anyone until the last possible moment. That way the playing feild is totally leveled. It might...

No thanks! I'll just go send myself through a wood chipper and save myself the gas money. I did Sandthrax once...never again.

I think that would be a blast. We could just go ahead and do it at Freeze Fest. We could start right out of the Sandthrax campground and hit any or all of those closest canyons. Or where ever, I'm...

Nice! But did you stay awake all the way through X-men? I glad to hear there's people out there interested in doing canyons this way. I never do the same canyon more than once in a day. Maybe that's...

What about speed canyoneering (or "hypercanyoneering" as Jared Campbell calls it)? Maybe it's for ADHD canyoneers. I know there's a few of you out there like me that love seeing just how fast and...

I had a few requests for info on the south fork of Cook canyon. I guess if you need a canyoneering fix and can't get down to the desert it's the next best thing. You'll feel like you're...

Willard Spires are amazing! I love this area and I'm glad to hear of other people exploring and suffering in it like I have. There truly are no level spots from the time you set foot in any of these...

I love the Ben Lomand Trail! It's one of the best runs anywhere. Especailly along the ridge and the trail that links Ben with Inspiration Point. A nice variation of that is to go all the way up and...

Fun idea. It is almost like a slot canyon at the top. Malan's is a two-pitch ice climb, but most people never do the second pitch because it's significalntly harder and rarely in good condition. The...
