I feel so left out. I'm the only one that hasn't attempted this :-). When are we going?

(side note: I realize this is the second report on this canyon in a month so I apologize) This was the second canyon of the day that we combined with doing Boltergeist Canyon first. I was surprised how much faster we got through this canyon, despite more down climbs and obstacles to work...

Loved that tree of life rock art.

3 years ago I was down in the St George area for a work trip and looking for a quick hike to do in the area. I found out about the Red Cliffs NCA and explored a bit up to the pools area and a little beyond. I was blown away by the beauty of the area and curiosity got the best of me when I got...

Very nice. Those are some DARK sections in that canyon. Love those short/sweet ones too.

I'm jealous and may be joining you someday (when my son turns 18 and is out of the house). I think if I were to live in the area I'd like Hurricane a bit more than living in St George proper. I like it because it's still relatively close to the freeway and still enough stuff to do in the...

Modest Mouse. They have a vary hard sound and also a very mellow sound (mellow stuff has a lot of banjo in it). Nick introduced me to explosions in the sky and I really like them. Another great "chill" album is Pink Floyd's "Atom Heart Mother" album.

I just looked up info on some of those canyons you mentioned. I love that there are some short/quick tech routes in that area to do. Seems like a perfect place to do some beginner-friendly canyoneering (Boltergeist and Yankee Doodle).

I really want to know the names of various landmarks in this area. I've been over to the popular area of Red Cliffs (where the campground is and the short jaunt up the canyon to the cool narrows and pools), and I've even driven along that dirt road that connects the Oak Grove Rd to hwy 18 (not...

That is amazing. I LOVE older photos of places I love. I love how unique this post is because it's a true trip report from over 30 years ago. Thanks so much for sharing.

My parents have been going there (during the early fall) every year and keep swearing to me that we need to join them. I would if I had not coached football during the fall, but I've always been worried that it's more of a national park type of setting during the summer/fall since a lot of other...

I visit Grand Junction 4-5 times per year and every time I'm more and more convinced I want to live there someday. It does have similar weather pattern to SLC (minus the inversion, but similar temps). You're 1.5 hours from the Swell area, 2.5 to Capitol Reef, 1.5 hrs to Moab area, then if you...

I love it man. Congratulations to a good year.

I'm not quite ready to buy some, but they're on my list. The biggest issue I face is that I don't really know of a local place (SLC) that carries them where I can try a pair on. Most are on-line orders only. So for those that own a pair, how do they fit as far as size goes? Are they typically...

When you have time can you load some pictures of how the prusiks are rigged and how you carry them on your harness? I'm sure it's not that important, but I'm curious how they're used.

Your brothers look like a lot of fun to hike with. I hate hiking with people that take themselves too seriously. Awesome views for sure, great job.

The Subway by root_family, on Flickr classic Subway shot by root_family, on Flickr FINALLY done with this video. I coach football during the fall which takes up ALL of my time. The Subway lived up to the hype for sure. The day before we did our hike we had just arrived at the Watchman...

Loved the video. About to finish mine up from August, the day after flash flooding. It was an add experience having the canyon all to ourselves and to see it in such a muddy/chocolatey state (That arch you can swim under was completely full of sand when we passed through), so I'd love to go back...

What about for those of us that don't have final cut or After effects? I just use iMovie '11 and I'm a relative novice. Do you happen to know if these functions are available in imovie?

Nice. I had heard about this canyon before, but knew nothing more about it other than the fact that it existed. Do you have to get a permit to do it? How long did it take you (including the excursion)?
