Went through PC today; at the beginning I was glad I brought a wetsuit (3/2), and later I was very glad I brought the wetsuit. Many people can easily go through without a suit, but it made the trip...

This is the fifth year in a row (at least) that the first afternoon rain storm happened in So Utah on July 1st. No clouds throughout June, then on the 1st the skies open up.

Got 3 weeks left on the winter trip (until Feb 10th) and now there is finally a dry stretch in the weather. Bogley seems to have people over here during the winter months and there are a few canyons...

10 days ago it was dry all the way through until the last pothole, which was full. Much of the canyon filled with loose debris during the Sept storms and many of the water areas earlier this summer...

Last year I came down Mineral Wash, through Parunaweap and up and out the Misery exit.

You could consider hiking east up Parunaweap to Rock Canyon and then hiking up the trail that is on the west...

Went through Frog Hollow a year ago. We took a 100, a 200, and a 300 foot rope. The big rap is about 240 to 260 and it is very straightforward (maybe straight down) meaning that it is an easy long...

ZION NATIONAL PARK – On Tuesday, Oct. 9, Zion National Park Rangers rescued canyoneers overdue from a hike that began Saturday, Oct. 6. The two visitors, a 41 year old man and a 26 year old ...

I doubt that I would have hauled a heavy camera out the MIA...

Well Tom, since I don't have much experience with hanging stations, I learned a lot on this wall. Normally when arriving at a multiple sling anchor I've got time to stand there and consider cleaning...

The three rap lengths on the wall are 165, 165 and 140 feet, so you are dealing with a 500 foot entry to the canyon - and the view down is a lot different than the Heaps view looking down several...

Icebox Canyon is not on the standard Zion NP list of canyons that can be reserved online, so Dean had to drive to the Kolob station to obtain our permit. The ranger commented that she hadn't issued...

That woman is the gorgeous Maria Woodford! Some notes on Maria:

- this was her third trip through Icebox Canyon
- born and raised in the Netherlands
- is the type of woman we all want - an...

Four of us started from the West Rim/Lava Point trailhead at 900 am and cruised 4 miles down the trail to the entrance to Hammerhead. The approach generally follows the grassy wash that winds up to...

The road is dry all the way to the reservoir - the snow is melting fast, but all the dirt roads look full of mud and water. There is still snow on the ground around the road to Lava point, but...

Our group of there did the full Imlay on Sunday 8/28. First full Imlay for all, though I'd been through lower Imlay 4 times prior.

Starting at the West rim TR at 715 we headed to Potato Hollow,...

Yes it is.

Today's 'flare-up' was intentional burning.

SYDNEY (Reuters Life!) - Ever got lost and felt you were going round in circles? You probably were, with a German study finding people do cover the same ground over and over when they don't have...

Hey BO-

It's Sat afternoon at 1:30 and I can see massive clouds building up over Cedar Mtn - 1st time this year I've seen a real thunderstorm building - also one over Pine Valley Mtn and one...

Haven't been through Heaps lately, but .....

Three of us did Imlay/sneak on Thursday, and I had gone through Imlay three weeks ago. Imlay had us 'hook out of three potholes, pack toss three, and...

ST. GEORGE - The badly decomposed body of a Hispanic male was found Friday by passers-by in the Gooseberry Mesa area of Washington County, a remote area near Rockville.

Kolob Canyon

Pics are in my camera, which is resting at the bottom of Rappel #9.

Four of us left our top shuttle below Lava point at 9:15. After reaching the first rappel (the shower), we...

Hello -

Not my camera, but all day today I listened to a friend whine about losing an expensive digital in Pine Creek. The camera is probably toast, but the memory chip in there has hundreds of...

Pine Creek. Yesterday, Thursday, a friend and I did Spry even tho there was a 60% chance of Flashing. That was because we knew the route and where it was tight and where we could escape to shelter....

Hey - has anyone here done Chasm Lake in Zion from the top down? I've hiked up from the bottom, but I've heard several people have hiked from the Kolob res and rapped right down the cliff walls to...

More Pics - Miles of mud; the snake was waiting for us in someone's mud/footprint; we heard several owls, but only 'caught' this one ....
