05-31-2007, 07:24 AM #11Nothing so dramatic..... Eric's comment just go me to thinking. I have always tried to construct my routes so they can be done in a single day or less because I understood that to be the most popular. I seldom get requests for multiple day trip beta..... But its always nice to get a second opinion and see if the mood of the canyoneering community is shifting at all. Originally Posted by marc olivares

Personally I like two day trips (multiple canyons in two days). Any longer than that and I start to get bored and the different canyons all bleed into each other and I have a hard time remembering what I saw in each canyon. Longer than three days and the canyons all become blurry and the uniqueness of each canyon is totally lost on me.
I'm also a big fan of the hot shower, soft bed, good food (that I don't have to cook), flirting with the barmaid, hanging out at the pool, swapping lies and drinking margaritias.

I like remote areas, so I like overnight trips. Many people do not, especially the canyoneers that are lazy.
Many canyons close to the roads are way over developed and trashed. Although pretty, I was disappointed in the amount of development and trash in Mystery, Keyhole, and Echo Canyons. People should learn to be more responsible.
Cool pools in canyons are just as good, at least the clear ones.I'm also a big fan of the hot shower
Sand and a Thermarest.soft bed
Take Snickers bars or ask Tanya to cook for you.good food (that I don't have to cook)
Bring a barmaid with you.flirting with the barmaid
Hundreds of canyons have pools in them.hanging out at the pool
Swap them in the canyon.swapping lies
Bring them with you.drinking margaritias.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

A thermarest is NOT soft!
I cook at work for the employees (at the Chevron) lunch when I have time! They appreciate me and love my cooking. Hubby just likes to control what he eats and what is used in the house --- so I let him have at it. Whatever makes him happy.

Exactly. I feel the same way. I like to focus on a few canyons at a time. After 2-3 canyons, it almost loses it's attraction, and I begin to wish for home again.It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

Sure he does....he must understand what it is, otherwise how would he know to avoid it?

I voted 2-3 days. 1 canyon a day though. I have a hard enough time keeping them apart doing 1 a day.
The man thong is wrong.
