We did go up Waimea Canyon but no hiking. My friend had sprained her foot about 2/3 of the hike into Kalalau. With lots of Ibuprofen we got her in and then on the way out my husband loaded what he...

Finally got a major trip crossed off my To-Do. I wanted to try something completely different, so why not Kalalau? I schemed my best friend and husband into the trip. It was beautiful, and also...

Mark ran into difficulty coordinating getting these donated. He ended up handing them off to me as I'm local to St George. I camp up around Mammoth Creek occasionally, I'll be there the weekend of...

Yeah I'm not liking what I hear about the 'residents' of kalalau. May have to toy with the idea of an Alaska trip....

Thanks! I'm hoping to start booking everything soon so I'm gathering as much info as I can. I'm all geeked out about the trip! Your notes about the trail are reassuring. I think just gawking at the...

I'm getting ready to enter the dirty thirties in 2014 so I wanna go big to celebrate. A friend and I caught a Motion episode where they hike the Na Pali coast in Hawaii and our jaws dropped....

I't's the 9.2 canyonero rope.

phew!! Thanks for the good news guys. I might have gotten a little paranoid, but as my rope is my life-line I was rather concerned!

I do use an autoblock on...

Oh yeah open invite for anyone interested. I'd love to meet some canyoneering locals.

I should be going through on Sunday, I can update you afterwords.

I brought my rope out for some knot practice/inspection when I noticed one end of the rope is not right. The core has slipped into the sheath, about an inch of slip on a 120' rope.

Thanks for the info! Mark, it's dry .... for now. Rain expected this week so depending how much can change the conditions. Maybe I'll just pack a spare pair of underoos and pants for any wading. I'm...

Candition is worth more than a look! Thanks for pointing me over there, I had never come across it in my various canyon web searches. Definitely will check out for any future canyon trips, thanks Rob...

Hoping to do both of these this Sunday. I know Yankee Doodle can hold some water. Anyone been through lately? I'd rather not pack a wetsuit just to keep it rolled up in my bag if it's not needed....

And just to add I think it's wonderful you want to make sure your daughter gets involved in the great outdoors! I don't know but I wonder if maybe you don't feel prepared to give her a taste of the...

I second what blueeyes posted. My brother was in campfire kids in Salt Lake about 20 years ago. While I'm sad they are no longer in the valley as an alternative I'm sure my brother vastly preferred...

The care contact link doesn't work, but if you just type it in your address bar it will...

Because I know there are some locals on here - FYI.

I've been sick for about a week, I was going to break down and try to make a Dr. appointment today when I caught this in the news. I purchased a...

Mountaineer if I could double-like your post I would!

I have an excellent group of locals that have been very kind about having me go out with them. I really feel like I hit the lottery with these...

maarten.1975 I agree on instructors being important! Knowing is one thing, teaching is another. Thanks everyone for the instructor references!

Nice!! Where were you riding?

i earned the respect of a group of guys in AZ when I took a tumble. When they saw me spill they thought the ride was over and I'd cry for a ride on the back of one of...

Wow....just wow Doss & Eric. Lacking the uhm necessaries, I have to say you guys are uh...athletic! :eek2:

on a more serious note, was I the only one stumped that through all the unwise decision...

Attempt to teach my sister how to go off-road in the truck she just bought. This will prove interesting and possibly entertaining, she seemed concerned when I asked her if she knew how to access her...

Granted it was no suitcase of thousands in cash but my husbands wallet that was lost a month ago in Zion was found. Not a dollar missing! Been hiding out near our camp spot in watchmen's for several...

Thanks Kuya, exactly what I was looking for!

Oh and any particular instructors you'd recommend? An instructor can make a big difference even with exactly the same curriculum.
