Soap CreekJenny and I headed north, leaving Wes and Todd behind. We had a plan to see them 4 days later, along with some other folks, for a descent of Waterholes. First we had a permit for three days in Tatahato and down the river. When we got to the turn out off the pavement, it became apparent that heavy rains had fallen locally. We would find out that 3 days of rain had changed many a road into muck. Still we persisted, even finding a way around the notorious stock pond. But when our tires sunk half...

11 days of canyons in Springdale...As this is part 2 of a trip to the same places as I posted in part 1, there's not a lot more to say, so to make a bit of a story, as Bull Valley Gorge features, I will do it as a little tribute to a Kanab photographer and photography shop owner called Terry Alderman, whose photo inspired me to go there and who was great company on 2 trips he took me on, but I was told he sadly passed away in the past year or two. Back perhaps 20 years ago on my first South West visit I saw upper Antelope...

Punchbowl 2-11-17February is Death Valley time. A break from the cold hard winter....except when it isn't. And when it isn't, it is often Arizona. Doc Science moved to Tucson. Wants folks to come down and do canyons. Just the excuse needed. Send out word to the local experts and trick them into taking care of me. Then Doc drops out with work concerns. His inspiration made the trip happen. He just happened not to make the trip Rich Rudow is available for 1 day. He wants to do Punchbowl, but he wants to access...

Big Canyon and Tatahatso WashRather than a long form Sufferfest, we did a couple of short loops in the GFC last week. Big Canyon was nice, and fun. https://mikeshikes.wordpress.com/2016/10/09/jane-and-the-reynolds-boys-visit-big-canyon/ Tatahatso was a long, wet, full-value day. I loved this slot and the whole loop. https://mikeshikes.wordpress.com/2016/10/10/part-2-tatahatso-canyon/

Black Canyon Mingus Mountain...A beautiful canyon located near Jerome Arizona in the Prescott National Forest. The canyon was running class C on Saturday and might very well be still running on Thursday due to some heavy rains coming tomorrow and tomorrow night. Fun Fun canyon in this condition. I read somewhere that if the upper reaches of Black Canyon drainage is anymore than a trickle then turn around and go home but we've ran this canyon several times in heavier flow than this and it is super fun. There is a shuttle...

Walker Gulch Zion, July 2016It’s hot down here. Anyone notice? I’ve been doing a lot of canyons, but my energy level is tanking. So how about something kinda short? Walker has been on the list to do for the new guidebook, and I had made an attempt a couple years ago in the fall, when we went down the East Fork only to discover that the East Fork does not get you to the cool big rap that is the big event in this canyon… (sigh). 104 in Springdale this day… but not quite so hot up higher. We met kinda early (8 am) and...

A Snowy Echo 2-17-16It doesn't happen every year. Usually about every 4 or 5 years. When it does, I can't resist. It happened to us the first time, in the early 90's. We descended Middle Echo, one May day, finished the short raps and came smack into a walls of ice. For the next 2 hours, we dangerously weaved our way through the snow and ice. One stretch we crawled in a 2.5 foot high tunnel, half filled with flowing ice water, for 40 yards. That same day we cut steps in an ice wall with the only thing we had that...
