Hi Wild Kat The only thing I have ran into besides the usual small reptiles and small mammals is one very large cougar and a few rattlesnakes. The cougar was...
... You know what? This was an absolute treat for me. When we're hiking, I'm always walking through the streams, splashing in puddles, etc etc-- I must have...
Oh, I did want to add: While we were coming out, it looked like the water was getting higher and higher; it did concern us some as we really have nothing other...
I feel the same way! I love river hiking! (unlike my hiking partner who seems to like, but not live it lol) Was it cold? Were you in dry suits? I hear when...
Bill - Sounds like you guys had a blast, thanks for sharing! We did the day hike up from the Temple about a month ago on a nice cold day. We wore farmer john...

With the 60% chance of rain in St. George last Friday, I blew off Kinesava and headed to Death Valley NP instead. Beautiful. Assuming the forecast stays good...
RAM (and others) - I know you're out there. It saddens me that the cooling weather will soon shut down my Zion fun for the season. With that in mind, anyone...
I enjoyed South Guardian Angel in the Winter, Also Mountain of the Sun in the winter, but it sounds like you've already done those, so have you done Moapa...
Indeed, I've already done SGA and MOS, as well as Moapa Peak. As for all of those temples and towers out there - I'm dying to get to them...I just need some...

***I'm well-versed in southern NV stuff...*** See what happens when I only have time to read a couple of posts :-) Soooooo..... tell us where some good slots...
... Don't give up the ship yet. Bo and Shane have sound ideas, but the season is not over until the snows fall or the rock doesn't dry, due to low temps and...
Again, thanks for the info and suggestions. It's been such a blast in recent weeks that I'm having difficulty coping with months of Zionlessness. Perhaps...
***Icecube is about the only one I'm familiar with*** Been there, done that..... ***Donnie B is your info source for that one!*** Been there, done that..... ...
***Icebox are there too*** Been there done that.... with about 5-10 cfs of flow. I have a 24"x36" pic I took of rappelling the final drop hanging in my living...
RAM - Moapa is a desert classic. Right off 15 between Vegas and Mesquite, it's about 6400-6500 feet high, class 3 with a great knife- edge just before the...
... Man that is sweet, thanks for the link. When I go back to the 23rd (the day we were there) it does look like it fluctuates from 75-80 during the day. I...
Here is some more beta for ya: http://hwstock.org/MoapL/ http://hwstock.org/moap/ On a side note BLM Ranger's have threatened to close our best canyon if it...
Red Butte? Anybody bag it? It always seems to beckon me when I go through the Terrace. But it's west of Hop Valley -- out of the park proper and I don't have...
