Kolob Canyon in June

[nkanarik]

Does anyone has an advice / BKM on how to plan for Kolob canyon in June time frame?
Here's my problem...I plan on a 9 day trip in the ZION area (Jun3-12), and am told the dam-release-schedule is pretty random. I also have some other canyons in mind, which some require permit, so this can be a logistical nightmare

Thanks

6/3/2018 (Sunday)	Drive to Zion area
6/4/2018 (Monday)	Hidden Star (+Boltergeist ?) warmup
6/5/2018 (Tuesday)	Telephone / Behunin / TeleHunin?
6/6/2018 (Wednesday)	Rest (/Keyhole?)
6/7/2018 (Thursday)	Kolob
6/8/2018 (Friday)	Rest
6/9/2018 (Saturday)	Mystery (Spry backup if don't get Mystery Permit)
6/10/2018 (Sunday)	Spry (Mystery if we did Spry the day before)
6/11/2018 (Monday)	Water Canyon & Start driving home

1. I think "Telephunin" flows off the tongue a bit better than what you suggest above... a fine day out.

2. Early June is an unlikely time to see Kolob 'in condition'. However, this is a very unusual "winter" so far. You stand a reasonable chance of getting in.

3. If not Kolob, then Boundary is a fine alternative.

4. Otherwise looks good. Sounds like a fun trip! Pine Creek is fine as a rest-day canyon too.

We did a Telephone / Not Imlay combo last year instead of Behunin
Could also squeeze Yankee Doodle in there with Hidden Star & Boltergiest or use it to replace one of them. All 3 still make a fairly short day
