    Birch Hollow Orderville Gulch

    Two friends and I did Birch Hollow out Orderville on 5-25-12. My first canyon in Zion’s. Got a ride from ZAC’s to the trailhead. Great canyon one of the most scenic canyon if have seen. All drops except the first 3 are bolts with chains and all webbing in good condition. We took wetsuits with us but never use them. Only had to swim 3 times in Orderville. The water is chilly but not bad for the short time in it. Took us about 9 hours to get back to ZAC's

    But yeah, my first Zion canyon as well. Excellent canyon, unique rappels, easy approach... A classic in my book, for sure

    That you, the guy with a big smile plastered across his face every pic?

    Yeah, that's a great canyon. Thanks to KIP for finding it for us.

    It was my first Zion canyon too! Now I've done it three times, it's one of my favorites.

    Just ZAC, no possessive.

    Birch's Hollow, perhaps? and Orderville's Gulch. Zion's Narrows? it is in Southern's Utah.

    True. I love hitting up Moab's. And can't forget my favorite Arches's National Park.

    Looks like a super scenic canyon, even with the way the photos are horribly formatted from the new layout Bogley has...

    We were in Zion's (and Bryce's and Capitol Reef's ) NP's on part of our 10-day camping trip that started on the 19th. If I'd planned better, I'd have tried to arrange to meet with some peeps that live in the area (Tom, Tanya), but we were only in Zion 2 days and didn't know what our schedule was going to be.

    One of these days, I want to learn technical canyoneering skillz so I can do some of the awesome slots in Zion and throughout the Grand Staircase area.
