Hey guys and dolls,
I have 5 days off, 7/11 to 7/16. Seriously thinking of coming back to Zion with a friend to spend more time getting to know the area better. If anyone is up for doing any canyons, please let me know. I should have a decision firmed up this up-coming weekend.
Peace! :2thumbs: |

Yeah, that's true but hiking in or outta the canyon is where it gets ya!
I had a heck of a time hiking in the heat of the day on the way "in" & the way "out" out of my destination canyon! Maybe it's just me, but the heat wears me out quicker than anything else!
I was wishing I was in Alaska with Carpey! ICEEEEEEEE |

That's what I hear. Early starts are good. Water involved is even better. :mrgreen: |

DANG!!!!! Well my timing must be all kinds of wrong here. HAHA!!! Of course it's virtually un-changeable b/c I am covering for a co-worker at work the rest of the week. Keep me posted on what dates you guys decide. There is one small, very tiny trick up my sleeve I could make happen.....but it's no guarantee. :2thumbs: |

The date for us is firm. The group is still up in the air (Josh and I for sure, maybe 2-4 others) and there has been some talk about heading for the Swell or the Roost or even just backpacking into the Uinta mountains but I'm pushing for Zion. |
