Imlay Canyon (Sneak Route) - Zion Main Canyon
Date: 05/19/2024
With Dad and Niklas. First tracks for the season! A brutal approach from the right side, I would not go this way again... Awesome canyon! Made it even with some blunders. the water level wasn't so high, still quite a bit of pothole escapes. 8hr 52min

Neon Canyon - Escalante
Date: 05/18/2024
With Dad and Niklas. So many cars at the trailhead, and a bit of rough driving towards the end. Super fun easy water canyon, definitely need wetsuits! Golden Cathedral was the coolest. Camping by the Escalante River on the approach would be cool, nice approach once past the river. 5hr 24min

Pandora's Box - Capitol Reef

With dad, super fun. 8hr 5min. Meeks mesa exit not bad. Brought 60m and pull cord, but only used 60m double strand bc of the leftover rope on last repel. Would do again, fun but cold campsite at TH.

With dad, Crux was scary but doable and super fun. 6hr 9min. Approach felt long but worth it. Road pretty tough, need good car. Would be sick to camp at some of the sites on the way to TH.
