Zion Narrows

[Bo_Beck]

so how many hours to complete?

we did orderville Sun. top to bottom,took about 6 1/2 hrs.

16 miles in the narrows has got to be a long day,then the return for your car--or did you have someone shuttle you?

nice pics as always

You have to realize that I took over 1000 photos! It's hard to count your time when you have me and my camera along.

Wow so 76.923 pics per hour
or 76.923pph

and how many times did ya trip while shooting

I only took 130 pictures so I traveled only 13.1pph. Thanks for waiting for me! Only saw one slight trip the whole time

Slight That one hurt! I got rocks stuck under my fingernails! Dang slippery rocks!

Coulda been worse like a sprained ankle or bunged up knee! Didn't keep ya from doing 76 PPH!

Orderville is awesome!!! I used my underwater casing on that trip but it made the photos too dark. I need to reshoot that canyon!

We started around 6ish AM and got to our vehicle at the visitors center around 8:15ish PM. Total hike time (photo time ) somewhere around 13 or so hours? Then drove back to Chamberlain TH and arrived to pick up the Rover around 9:30ish! Pretty long day but worth the whole experience!

That shuttle ride is long but I like to do it instead of riding a commercial shuttle and having to be at a certain place at a certain time. (I don't think I could work a real job anymore or live in a city)

It was funny to see all the rented sticks and rented 5-10 canyoneers out there!

yea about 1 mile from the river you start running into the "stick people"
I've seen them completely bent over putting all there weight on the sticks.
Think I'll just keep trusting my own feet and own balance.
be nice to us 5-10 people --although we own ours

on a side note we did birch yesterday,had dinner at the t-bird blackened chicken and chasing tail, I seem to be hooked on chasing tail

Awesome! Did you notice all the wait staff in the "Home of the Ho-made Pie" shirts! Honda did a commercial in front of the bird sign this last Saturday while Bo and I were in the Narrows.

Birch Hollow is one of my all time favorite canyons! Its fun with the short rappels that are not too bad to get onto, no permit required (as long as you don not exit through the Narrows) and the beauty! Favorite for sure!!!!

Tanya,

I have Orderville and some of it's tribs high on my hitlist right now. We should tag-team it, and we can go at a nice 50 or 60 ppm. Plus, I want to see this underwater housing in action. Do you have a full polycarbonate shell for your slr? Gotta be a heavy beast, I'd bet.

We should.

It's not an SLR... just a digital, but yes it's a full shell. Orderville was the first and last time I hauled it through a canyon! I tried it on the Grand Canyon River trip too and quickly put it away. I guess its just best for underwater photography.



Camera Underwater Casing in my hand in Orderville.

Getting closer to Zion Canyon --- The colors become more dramatic!

[sparker1]

Tanya, that's a really good shot considering the poor lighting in the bottom of the canyon.

Thanks!!!! That's cool to hear from a real photographer.

I am finally getting the hang of this slot canyon photography! (still have a long way to go though!) It feels so good to get this flash/fill balance more under control though! I am still going through my photos..... Have about 20 more to look at. I am hoping for some good ones to post!

I love the color on these.

Last Photos of the Narrows. I finally got through all mine from this trip. I told you guys there were a lot!

I just follow around a real canyoneer and still shoot on auto.

But thanks.
