I'll be less than 30 min away in the area and was thinking the same thing. I've got to be in St. George by 2:00 pm. Can we be done by then?

We just got home from doing Water Canyon. It was beautiful and the company was excellent.
Photos of the first 2 rappels
We did not get Shaun out in time. We started about 8am and got done about 4pm.

Now I'm confused--
I thought Bo was doing Heaps today, instead?

The rappels in this canyon are easy, but fun. This would be a good canyon for beginners.

Thanks guys!
Water Canyon is a cool one. You know where Hildale is right? It's the pligamist community that has been in the news. This is not only an outstanding canyon, but one of my favorite hiking area. In the winter or spring the water is raging in that canyon. It is the place that Zion Rock and Zion Adventure Company, both in Springdale take many of the groups that pay to do a slot canyon. There is no permits needed either.

Would this be the last rappel we did Bo/Shaun?

Very nice picts and report!! I imagine that the water felt pretty good in the heat.
Looks like a fun canyon.
