Five days hiking and canyoneering in Zion National Park, Utah on 09/24/2011 22:35:15 MDT Print View

Some pics from my trip this summer. Canyoneering is hiking and climbing and caving and rappelling combined. You haven't really seen Zion until you've got into your harness and wetsuit and dropped into a deep slot canyon! More photos and a trip report on my site PlanetRambler.com
