Had contact with the Southern Nevada Gem and Mineral Society, who have a claim in the area and they believe the hike is on public land. Looks like the other info I received was incorrect.

Thanks, I'll do some more investigation next time I'm Stateside and advise.

Hi all,

Was in the Lake Mead area today and did this short hike

and managed to see the Great Horned Owls!

Anyway, stopped at the...

Thank you Tom, looks like the route above is the one I'd picked from one of your betas, and on Google Earth.

Hi all,

Planning a trip to Zion in a week or so and need some info on Echo.

Now that the entry is via East Rim Trailhead/Stave Spring what's the distance before the canyon? I'm estimating 5...

I've only hiked in Red Rock so don't know any of these:

Just got Hero 3+ Black from Best Buy for $400 plus tax and they included a SanDisk 32Gb Extreme for nowt.

I'm not as good as those guys but wish I was!

On an upslope, your pace will obviously shorten so maybe I would count every other pace. Its really just trial and error but try it and see how...

First time I did Mystery I was concerned about missing the entry, so paced the distance from where the trail splits left, towards Observation Point and the 3 foot high cairn at Mystery. After I'd...

I only use paces to measure distance. 120 paces on level ground for me, equates to 100 yards. I guestimate the effect of inclines and find I'm accurate to within 50 yards per mile.

Paced out...

Did Keyhole a few days ago and needed wetsuits, water was v cold and swim required. We weren't quick, it was my son's first canyon. Perhaps if we'd been quicker we wouldn't have bumped into Borat!

There was a group of young ladies out that day but no frikkin way was I going anywhere near anyone, dressed like that. You do have indecency laws in the US don't you? And stemming over someone, you...

WARNING - YOU WILL ALL FIND THIS DISTURBING

Thanks, I think we'll take suits, Matt.

How much and how cold please, wetsuits required? I'm planning to do it next week.
Thanks, Matt.

Thanks again all, we're going to be busy! Who needs Zion - that's a joke btw!

Thanks Michael,
My son is along for the first time so I want to stick to the smaller raps, I think 175' might spook him, hey it'd spook me!! He's done a course but I don't want to put him off, mind...

Thanks Dave, I've found Arrow Canyon north of Vegas, Yankee Doodle, Red Caves and Fat Man's Misery which look ok and appear to be open. I'll check out climb-utah.com

Probably a bit like, how long is a piece of string but any ideas when the finance issue will be sorted? A few of us are heading out from the UK on 13 Oct and have 3 days of permits for Zion, hotel...

Yes indeed. I would have built an anchor but the slip put an end to that plan. Lesson learned.

Thanks Chanobelli, that's definitely the one and the pothole is now full of water which saved me. And lesson learned, I'll be over from the UK again in October but won't be solo (EVER AGAIN).
