Nice to see a familair face on the homepage. Hows it been, I am back in Jackson Hole saving for another trip to Utah in the spring. I am currently washing...
I guess this is a little off topic so apologies. I'm just wondering people's experience getting permits to run the lower San Juan - Bluff to Clayhills. I've...
Inspection is put off for a week! The hike is back on. Anyone that wants to go let Bo or I know. We meet at 8am tomorrow morning --- same place as last...
I hate "pounding pavement" but Codys son need some info about "Canyoneering" for a school project. My intention was to take him the DVD "Canyoneering the...
Sort of... we entered from the side since the canyon is overgrown at the start. Then we exited out another side canyon --- sort of near Arch "7"... but then...
Great shots as usual, Tanya and Bo. It's fun to live vicariously through you two when I'm stuck up north. I'm trying to figure out that one pic...are you...
Thanks Cheryl! Early in the morning when we first went through I rapelled it.... Bo handlined down. Then we left our ropes behind and decided on doing a ...
We started hiking early in the AM (7:30) and tried directly down Meadow Creek where it goes under Route 9. Bad mistake. It is a muddy, loose scree, overgrown...
I just added a photo album named Meadow Mineral. I put a couple maps that were downloads of GPS tpos of the hikes we did the last 2 weekends. They will give...
I just got looking at the map, and we never went down Meadow from route 9 and its intersection. We went down the drainage to the west of it near the corner in...
Did the North Pass option of Icebox yesterday with a couple of friends. We loved it, but thought the route could be improved if a few of the old bolts and...
Bo and Tanya - Thanks once again for letting us live vicariously through your hikes! Sounds like some fun exploration and gets me all juiced for my next visit!...
Hi Ron! I love Icebox. It's just unique is why I guess. I don't remember a big waterall? Some small trickles? Did we miss it? ... Ron - Did the North Pass...
There is sure a lot to explore down there. We have some more beta on some petros to find and what is suppose to be an awesome and skinny slot down there...
I believe it was on this group site that I first came across a reference to a book entitled "Arches of the Escalante Canyons and Kaiparowits Plateau . . ....
The big waterfall is after the last "official" rappel in the beta I've seen for the route, just west of where you are supposed to downhike through some heavy...
Hi Marty, I have rafted the San Juan about half a dozen times in the last several years. You have a pretty good chance of getting a lottery draw for the SJ in...
... Good job, Ron. Hard to get these longer routes in with the short daylight hours. The rock in this area is quite soft, and requires considerable skill to...
... My impression is that the canyon holds a LOT of snow (if it snows this winter) so 'Spring' may be quite late in this particular canyon. No downhike through...
Good points on the no/low trace ethic, Tom! Perhaps the best way to spice up any route is to suggest additional raps that might be done only from temporary...
... It's a ropework issue, rather than a numbers issue. Two of the stances are true hanging belays. I'd not like to hang three people off them - I'd prefer...
Hi, all. Remember the two overweight, outta shape cabbies who went to Zion last year? Well, were still overweight and outta shape, but this year we went to...
I am taking two new bike tourers on a weekend excurison over Veterans Day Weekend. We're going to bike with our loaded rigs into Zion from Hurricane on...
Thanks for the info on the shuttle, I didn't know that it had stopped running for the season. Well, we could certainly ride our bicycles to the trailhead and...
