Neon
We descended on Escalante last weekend with high hopes to knock off the Neon/Chop combo. Thursday evening we backpacked in to the confluence of Fence canyon and the Escalante river. Friday we got an early start and dropped into Neon a little further north from the usual drop-in. (a little short of half way). Neon is tippy-top full of water right now. I think we must have did as much swimming as walking. Many, many swimming and/or wading sections. A 4/3 wetsuit kept me toasty. The keeper pothole at the end of the canyon is full of water.
We shot a bunch of video and photos -- will post later, stay tuned.It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

Would the canyon still be full of water say . .on the 11th of October? Or does the water drop really fast?

hi tristan,
here's an answer to your question from a fellow named Ram who posted this over on the canyons group awhile ago after my friend nat and i had been through neon after a major flood and still flowing:

Nice pics, thanks for posting. Sorry about Chop, but the great thing is the canyon will be there next time you want to try.
