The area EAST of the Park Boundary is known as The Barracks. This part is open to the public. From the Park Boundary west, into the Park, is closed to the...
Gary - I have a little writeup of the East Fork here: http://www.citrusmilo.com/joe/zion/barracks_desc.cfm Tom and Shane also have good write-ups under Misery...
Nice writeup Shane. Call me a map-nerd (cause I am), but... "Parunaweap Canyon" is the canyon of the East Fork of the Virgin from Labyrinth Falls down; and The...
Looking to share car shuttle for Birch/Orderville this weekend. Anyone want to play? I'd pay $60 for a ride if there is a local floating around who wants to...
Hmmm... Since I was young, I always knew the entire canyon (from Mt. Carmel Jnt to Springdale) as the "Parunuweap." (Just like "Pine Creek" is a vague name...
My understanding of Parunuweap has always mirrored Joe's. Not saying its right or wrong, just how I understood it. Reading the Powell journals I think he...
... the public. ... Ummm. How should I put this?? For "historical" value, a route exists below the falls, but above the private property. It still involves ...
Now that is good stuff Ram! Least we not forget for that fantasy day in the future when that section reopens. (Sure, it's only a dream.) Some day I'll like to...
Maybe the next generation of trees will be backpacker friendly. :) I do like calling the whole thing Parunuweap.. much nicer name than Barracks. I am all for...
Doesn't Parunuweap Translate to something like "The Thundering River"? If so, then there must be sections of Parunuweap followed by sections of The Virgin...
Hey Tanya - I think it's good that we all put our own spin on what is important or interesting. My only suggestion for your description is that you might want...
Some kids are fearless, but as we age we develop a healthy fear of dangerous places. From the photos I have seen on this group - be afriad. Be very afraid....
What dangers do cold weather canyoneering add to the mix in addition to the regular dangers that already exist in canyoneering? ... Urban legend. Days out...
... to the regular ... My take. Cold weather canyoneering requires better protective gear against the cold, be it a better/thicker wet suit or more clothing...
Question: What about snow storms? Those must present a danger. Dodging falling giant icicles... .. Most of all --- what about changing clothes out of the...
... Last November, with Hank, Moab Matt and Levin, it snowed so hard and it was still a bit warm. It started a flow, in quite a narrow canyon (Shenanegans)....
We dodged Icicles on your Many Pools hike on the way to the East Rim ;) "It's a finite experience. Deal!" ~roflmao~ :D I agree, but at least its in the warmth!...
... The ruins have nothing to do with the closure of Parunaweap. There are a thousand archeological sites within the Park and only a few are off limits. The...
Would these people... I assume they are the "Trees" that own the Springdale Apple Fruit Stand, really call police if backpackers ventured up there? That...
In winter I find the biggest danger is the short days. A navigation error can cause major problems because you lack the sunlight to recover from the error....
... Always scheduled now. The 1st is on a Sunday, this season, I think. Probably do the usual week long trip. Hole on the first, dry stuff surrounding it,...
Anyone ever scramble up the south side across from the plaque or perhaps out thru Dennett Canyon? If such were doable, then so might a multi-day Eagle Crags,...
Like Behunin :) ... problems because you lack the sunlight to recover from the error. In winter I also pick my canyons more carefully and attempt to limit my...
