Right now? Nada!

With some warm weather to melt this snow, the usual winter suspects are Spry and Behunin. Pine Creek can be fun, but it is rarely dry. Lots of stuff is inaccessible (well, easily) with the North Fork Road full of snow and the Kolob Terrace road kinda out of the question.

The Narrows could be really awesome right now. Not dry though. Dry and Zion don't really go that well together.

Thanks Tom. I was just looking for a couple of canyons to do this weekend without freezing my ass off(no swimmers). Is there a lot of snow in the Silver reef area?

Yankee Doodle holds water and can be a fun splasher in the spring. I thought of it, then I thought of a lot of water.

Hidden from the top is good, but right now would be very snowy and quite the trek. However, it has very little water holding capacity, so it would be a good choice if the snow gets burned off!
