Yeah, there is no way we could have done that on the day we went through (which I'm assuming was the next day?). The stone was pretty much covered and the water was flowing through pretty fast. All the water before it was thick and foamy. Our first option was to climb up and over the log jam...

Nice. Looks like it was still really muddy. I forgot to mention that the underwater arch was filled with sand/mud. Would have been nice to check that out. Did you do the bypass over that logjam where the choke stone was in the slot?

Wow! Check out this video of North Creek where it meets the town of Virgin. This was this past Sunday when the hikers were stranded in the Subway hike. No wonder they were stranded (must have had to get up pretty high). The destruction of the canyon itself was impressive seeing large trees in...

We checked out our permits the day before (as usual) and they gave us the warning about us being responsible. When we got to the trailhead there was a group of 3 people from CA there (although two of them sounded like they were speaking German). This is where we found out that a group was...

Finally got that permit and trip penciled in and did it. We followed it the day after a giant flash flood had hit it (stranding several hikers in the night before). More to come on the TR, but wanted to share these traditional photos. TONS of sand and the water was obviously very brown, but it...

Yes, that's correct. We were too close to a granary. Not entirely a good judgement call on our end I suppose, but we weren't climbing on it or touching it, but we were close. I also had a picture of my hand next to an old indian handprint. I was not touching the rock (I know better), but it kind...

I hiked up to Paul Bunyan's Potty and Tower Ruin back in 2008 and just this past fall I got a phone call from the Needles district asking me to take down all of my pictures of anything "off the trail". Specifically they made me take down my pictures of the stuff we scrambled up to under Paul...

So amazing. I'm teeming with jealousy right now. Can't wait for the kids to get a little older so alene and I can get away to do the Narrows.

I was down with my extended family "camping" at Palisade state park. Had a great time swimming on the reservoir and doing some kayaking and paddle boarding. I took some time to ride the Pioneer downhill trail up Ephraim Canyon. The trail is a good 6 miles long and a blast to ride down. I'd...

For sure. It's about 2.5 hrs up. Was obviously full of snow less than a month ago, but I'm sure it's gotten better. We were gone a total of 6 hours from our house and that included the drive there and a stop at Cafe Rio (to go) on the way home.

Looks like a couple of beauties. I wish I had a pallet for fish or anything out of the water (I don't), but I want to learn the skill in the chance that I DO need it.

Whoops, you're right. Those wing guys were telling me it was Pffifferhorn. Oh well :-).

Alene and I were able to celebrate our 7 year anniversary by doing a hike up Little Cottonwood canyon called Red Pine Lake. Neither of us had done it before so it was fun to have 6 hours to ourselves to hike without kids or anything else to slow us down. The trail was really nice and for about...

Here is a map of the area I took a picture of an another area I drove by. Again, the canyons looked deep and huge. If they are the Cottonwood Wash canyons, is there much to them, or was my imagination running wild? Big Canyons Link <iframe width="800" height="600" frameborder="0"...

I visit St George every few months for work and on my most recent trip I decided to bring my Downhill bike along and do some exploring around some of the marked trails. It's so funny when you drive around the area you have no idea how close you are to some awesome trails, often times right off...

My family and I bought tickets to see the Beach Boys 50th anniversary tour in Las Vegas and rather than just run down to Vegas we opted to camp Saturday night on the way down (concert was Sunday) and do a little more camping in Zion on Monday. It was Memorial Day weekend so we obviously could...

Based on my map link above, is that the potholes?

By the way, all of this info helps a ton. I'll be out Monday/Wed (going down to Montrose/Telluride on Tuesday). Hoping to get a ride in Monday night, then an early morning ride on Wednesday morning before heading out of town. Like I said, if you have an interest in doing any riding, let me...

I don't expect you to know this, but by chance would this be the area they're located?? There is no information out there on how to get to them. Little Dolores Potholes

Yeah, I've actually driven by that jump area where the lunch loop starts. I'll definitely hot that one up on my next visit.
