Chelsea and I got to adventure down the San Juan River as river guides for Wild Rivers Expeditions. It was a great 3 day trip with a lot of stops at archeological sites. We first stopped at the Butler Wash panel. Then we stopped by Desecration THen of course we...

Oh yeah and i use AllTrails Pro for my app...

I use my S5 all the time in the backcountry. It takes great point and shoot photos. I throw it on Airplane mode to save battery (which doesn't last all that long in my opinion when running GPS too). I do like the Ultra Battery Saver mood, but i haven't done the turn it off and turn it back on...

Touchė!

First off, it's hard for me to rationalize posting a thread on Backcountrypost that isn't really backcountry. My mind just yells at me to stop, but my hands keep typing. Because of this fight going on it took me awhile to post on here, but the original post is on the blog. When I heard a...

Why I didn't like them for hiking and such was my foot got tired out too easily and I've been using them all summer. Most of all, they didn't have as good of grip as the 5.10 Canyoneer or Exum Guide I usually use for such activities.

For river rafting and lake trips I have loved mine. Hiking, backpacking and canyoneering I have used them, but didn't like them much. I think @gloo hit the main points to consider with the shoes in that other thread.

From the BLOG: I was privileged with a chance to charter luggage and gear for a commercial trip with Four Corners Adventures and Wild Rivers Expeditions for 5 days on the San Juan River. I hadn't ever been in the lower canyon of the San Juan and it was gorgeous. The canyon is so deep...

I know in time it is add an hour to your time for each 1000ft gained and add a 1/2 hour for each 1000 ft lost...but I'm with @Bob...not sure what the distance would be. Half?

Depends on a few factors. How many people do you have going? how experienced are all of you at canyoneering? Whats your tolerance for cold? and many more factors that change the answer to that question. I've done it without a wetsuit several times with friends who know what they are doing so we...

From the BLOG. I have found the Ancestral Puebloan version of myself out in the wild of southeastern Utah. My wife and my Sunday drive/hike took us to the Wolfman panel just west of Bluff. The third group, the most intricate of the carvings, are spectacular. The artist who carved these...

All the photos from the trip are on my blog, but I'll spare you and give you just the ones I like the most. The first few miles of Hop Valley are a sandy, sagebrush flat. I personally find it gorgeous, but I like the small details of the Silvery Lupine and the few strong Ponderosa Pines and the...

We just are always looking for what days are available. The day we did it there were six spots left online so we took them. THen the friend who got the 6 couldn't go so we went in the morning to trade the name and he just said he would give us a new permit because most spots were still...

Total: 9 2 nights Death Valley 1 Night Davis Gulch 1 Night near Torrey/Capitol Reef 2 Nights Comb Ridge 3 Nights Zion Backcountry

The last rappel is the coolest. I just zipped right down the falls.

Yeah. It's only flowing at like 50 cfs

This is a long post, but I couldn't leave any of this out from the original post on my blog. Mystery Canyon, Solved! Ever since I strolled up the Riverside Walk and into the Narrows of Zion National Park, I have felt compelled to find the canyon beyond Mystery Falls. The 100 ft. waterfall...

I know it's late, but I've never needed a wetsuit in Misery. I've gone in early spring, spring, summer, and fall (winter trip is next!).
