Zion?

[DWayne27]

Anyone make it to zion this past weekend, or since all the rain over labor day and afterwards?
I am looking specificly for water levels/temps in mystery, spry, and orderville.

We did Snake Alley and Keyhole. Keyhole was really full.

none of those, but echo was cold and very low

We went through Pine Creek on Saturday and Echo on Sunday. I wore my full wetsuit both days - I do not like to be cold. I'd say the water was medium level in Pine Creek and not freezing. The water was freezing cold in Echo with a couple swimming spots. We had a great time in both canyons.

My daughter's friends did Mystery on Saturday and they said it was dry except for Mystery springs. They got a late start and rapped into the Narrows around 11pm. I guess they had a great time.

Co-worker did Spry on Saturday, said three to four places with water, deepest was waist deep, was not cold.

Did orderville last last weekend (sept 6th). It was dry till 6 miles in, then it was flowing huge. There were some really cool mud holes with insane amounts of bees. And all the good jumps are dug out at least 8 feet and good for jumping. Getting just a little chilly though. i imagine by now it might be wetsuit time. bring an inner tube for the narrows, it's deep enough to make traveling easy and the tourists jealous.

darn-it! jumping sure sounds fun, but, but, but...last time i experienced jumping in orderville was as a sherpa for bellvue productions during the filming for the travel channel "national park month- grand canyon, zion, bryce, haleakala, and denali np's". setting up the lighting a few kids asked what we were filming? the camera-man explained what was being filmed. one kid blurts out, "film me jumping into this pool". being the sherpa and liason for the park, i told the camera-man not to film it. the kid jumped and struck a rock underneath- broke his leg. i now was a sherpa, liason, and sar coordinator. at least i got paid well that day!
