Yankee Doodle on Friday Second time through this canyon. First was last November. No one wanted to go with me on Friday so I went solo. I first checked out the...
... Sounds like a job for the Phantom ! [The Phantom] Not sure what extreme technical challenge prompted the "guides" to bolt the first rap, but even if the...
What if any were the names of the places like Angels Landing, The Great White Throne and others by the local Indians before they were named by the local...
If anybody has been in the main canyon recently, or will be in the next several days, can you please give us an update on how the leaves are coming along? I...
I tried to go in the Canyon on Sunday but it was too crowded. They haven't changed outside, yet. We went up on Kolob Terrace and it was pretty much over. ...
Hi Win - Thanks for sharing! I took a mini vacation looking at all of your photos, really great stuff. I especially like your Kolob Reservoir set with the...
thanks for the great pictures win! really has me wanting to get outside. i know it's a bit late for fall colors, but next, next sunday the 19th jan and i are...
I'll probably not be shooting bunches of pictures as my right arm will be hanging on to my "3rd leg" flicklock hiking staff [:D] . I think I'll immobilize my...
This would be in late May or early June. We are good non-technical hikers. We would try to take the first shuttle from Springdale to Angel's Landing in the...
Angels landing and bottom narrows in a day, absolutely. If your a fast hiker I think you can be hiking the lower narrows in the late morning. If not it will be...
The Narrows as an overnight trip is wonderful! It is my favorite 'easy' backpacking trip. We travel light as it is just one night. The weather is mild and we...
Keep in mind, however, that May-June is typically towards the end of peak runoff. The possibility does exist, depending on this year's snowpack, that the...
I must have missed it when I was off somewhere and not reading the group. What happened to you, Bo? Sounds like an accident or something? Glad you're...
Definitely can do, though the Narrows is worth more time than that. We did it (with a 7 yr old) two summers ago, late July, so similar light. We weren't even...
In april during the last days of spring runoff, I hiked a duckie down into Deep Creek with the intent of kayaking Deep Creek and then The Narrows. About a mile...
Ah, I remember your description of that great run, Bo! The price we must pay for our pleasures. Well hopefully you are out today and the surgery is healing...
Thanks. I'm not sure if we'll do the overnight or just the day hike but it is good to know the camping spots are in safe places. It makes sense, of course, I...
We will definitely check on the weather and have am alternate hike planned in case we can't go to the narrows. I am also afraid of flash floods so will be...

The different gear, particularly footwear, is something that hadn't occurred to me and is an excellent point. Would it help to try and stay at the lodge in...
the lodge is just south of the grotto picnic area (trailhead for angels landing) and would be a handy place to stay! both angels landing and the narrows can be...
When I did the narrows it was just in old running shoes. I was OK but YMMV. I've since upgrade to canyoneering shoes that shed water nicely. I think you'll be...
Carol and I are going to visit our new grandson there. On Saturday, I'm going to hike up to Echo Canyon. (More like walk). Even though I'm only there for a...
canyon overlook is a good little hike allso. Bernell ... From: Darrel Drumm <didrumm@...> To: Zion_National_Park_Hiking@yahoogroups.com Sent: Tuesday,...
I too wanted to do Angel's Landing and The Narrows (however, not in the same day) when I was in Zion last May. As things turned out, The Narrows was closed...
That's good to know because then I think we'll stay in the lodge in the park for at least one night to be able to start hiking to Angel's Landing really early...
I think I will try and stay at the lodge for one night to get out on the trail to Angel's Landing early the next morning and in town the other night to save...
... Had a great visit with Matthew and his other grandmother who is from Poland whom we'd never met. Of course, Izabela had to translate, but she did a good...
