I also posted this over at the Canyons Group(yahoo). I will be in Zions next week July 21 and was wondering if anybody has
recent info on current conditions in Keyhole, Pinecreek, Mystery, Spry,
Orderville and Birch hollow. I know that the monsoon season has started
down there and hope the weather behaves while I am there. Thanks D.

I heard, strangly, Mystery is dry all the way to the spring. Even with the monsson the seasonal lake is dry.

Pine has more water now rather than the earlier dry conditions. A friend wet through with a wet suit and he got cold (he's a skinny guy & they took their time).

Was.

The monsoon continues. Things change from day to day. That said, it takes a fairly direct hit to fill up "the lake" - and it rarely presents a serious obstacle, but can be quite, uh, aromatic.

All dry including the lake. Rap before the springs has a little water but bypassed left anyway.
As of yesterday.

I did Spry on Monday before the storm, it was pretty dry but had chest deep water in one spot.

Pine Creek and Keyhole were completely full on Tuesday, the water wasn't terribly cold but a wetsuit made me very comfortable, it was a little cooler today.

Like Oldno7 said, Mystery was dry until Mystery Springs on Wednesday.

All the anchors in each canyon were setup and looked good.

The conditions I know about (Pine Creek and Keyhole) were posted over on the canyons group.

friend did Mystery yesterday. Says that it was basically dry (other than mudd for the entry in) all the way to the spring.

Birch Hollow is-----Birch Hollow, as of today.
All dry except the few mudholes at the base of some raps.
Conditions here don't change much.
