[ATTACH] [ATTACH] I got into Angel Creek Creek CG late on Wednesday and joined Alane, Sonny, Kirk and Paul for a brief nap. Thursday morning we set out for Bear Creek. Low water, pools filled in with gravel. Fun but not the challenge that it can be with bigger water.

[ATTACH] We started our Italy trip in Val Bodengo, above the small village of Chiavenna. We arrived at our accommodations somewhat late but were never the less greeted with home made risotto and wine. Although we did not share a common language, our hosts instantly made us feel welcome. [ATTACH] The next morning it was canyoning time! We suited up and started the long hike to our entry...

It WAS hot out, but a north-running canyon, early start and projected cloud cover combined to make this reasonable. THIS being exploring a branch of Echo Canyon that comes off Cable Mountain. The team for this adventure was Kody Prisbrey from St G, Jonathan Zambella from Springdale, Felicia Bicknell from Phoenix and me. There are many branches of Echo Canyon. Bill Westerhoff has explored the...

[IMG] Na-Gah is an easy, family friendly canyon for those with a bit of technical equipment and experience. Just completed this one last weekend. Approach is one of the best parts; climbing up and watching everyone below hike the Grand Wash. If you are quiet, the folks below don't even know you are there! Great for just the views and scrambling. [IMG] Previously we did a lot of...

One day maybe a year ago, while looking at gmap4, switching in between topo maps and satellite images as I spend, probably entirely too much of my time doing, I stumbled across the Tehipite Gorge. Here the Middle Fork of the Kings River cuts a 3000 foot deep gorge into the Sierras carving through the Granite. It's a relatively flat gorge compared to the north Fork of the Kings River (Jump...

I was fortunate enough to get to tag along with Luke, Mike, Andy, and Deeps in the East... I mean Right Fork of Bulloch in Zion on Saturday. Bulloch drops into Orderville from the north not too far from The Guillotine. We camped at the Orderville Corral Friday night in order to get an early start as we were expecting a long day. After a quick ten minute delay while we starred at Deeps not packing...

On Saturday June 15 our group of 4 completed our first run of Imlay canyon via the Right Sneak Route. We set out at 7:00 am and reached the Imlay crossroads at 12:00 pm. The path up the sneak route was fairly well marked and there was a small scratch trail in many parts. That being said it was a slightly strenuous hike at times, but our enthusiasm for what was in store made the hike go by...
