Favorite Canyon in Zion
Just for fun and curiosity. What is your favorite canyon in Zion?
I know. Apples and oranges and unfortunately, the poll option only allows for 10 choices.

Yeah, too bad there are only 10 choices. Could have listed Spry, Icebox, Birch, Engelstead, Fat Man's, etc.

So far, I think I like Spry the best. Sort of like Pine Creek, but longer and better and less crowded. Sort of like Mystery, but without all the hoopla.

Heaps.
But for groups of varying skill level, I have several favorite. I also have canyons I don't mind doing anytime. Also, who I am with makes a big difference.
But as far as my personal favorite and looking at canyon only, Heaps without question. Either way you approach Heaps, the views are spectacular, the canyon is crazy good and hard, and the final sequence of raps is breath taking to say the least. That one pushed me to my limit the first time when we did it as an overnighter. That was fun but I won't do that again. Too much stuff. And with Heaps, the intensity builds as the day goes on. Fatigue builds too. Heaps for me the first time was a true mental game.Life is Good

other as in the next canyon I'm doing or last canyon I've done. There are a few places worthy of repeats that I'll always jump at. Right now I'm getting into canyons not on the permit reservation list or unknown at the backcountry desk.

It's sad that the backcountry permit system has created a "secret society" in regards to canyons inside the park. I can't see how this system helps the park in any way, shape, or form in the long run....
But I certainly don't blame the Zion canyoneers.... tell the park about your new really cool canyon and next week it's on the permit list and you can't visit the route....

I would have to say Spry since i've done like 3 times but the Maze in Red Rock is a close seconded

I don't even go that far.... I just pick up an Ordeville, Narrows or Subway hiking permit.... nod my head when they ask questions and try hard to act like a dumb tourist.... one of those permits covers anything the Rangers will be checking and are usually pretty easy to snag... Let the rangers figure out I'm using the "optional" route....
The minute you put down "other" your going to get to play an entirely new game of name that tune.... much easier just to act dumb....

I don't know what you people are talking about. If it is not on the permit system, it doesn't exist... (and let's keep it that way - in other words, zip it.) In legal terms, you have the right to remain silent..... this is a situation where the warning would apply.
