The infamous Jolly Gulch, a sweet little canyon near the East entrance of Zion National Park. My buddy was in town about a month ago and we were already tired from 3 previous days of long canyons, so we decided to spend a short leisurely day in Jolly. The trail to access the canyon is very easy to follow and will dump you right at the head of the canyon. The elevation gain is just less than 400 feet, once you get to the canyon the first drop is 160’ down a slender flute. The next rap is can be broken up, but it is easier to combine the two drops. Halfway down the last rap LDC there are the remains of a bird in a window kind cool. The pull on the last rap turns a corner, but surprisingly pulls smoothly. There are a few small down climbs, but you mostly follow a flat steam bed that puts you right back on the trail you started on. It is took us about 3 hours and is probably one of the easiest canyons to get into. Pics soon to follow!
