Water canyon was delightful. The hike to the top was full of outstanding views, and the canyon had many great rappels. Being in Water canyon proved to be a great way to beat the hot Southern Utah sun.
To make the day even better, it was my Birthday! It wasn’t as good as being home with my wife and kid, but canyoneering with friends and in-laws a pretty decent way to spend a the day
The hike to the top of Water Canyon was one of the highlights of the trip. As we hiked the 1200′ or so to the top, I really enjoyed the views of the canyon. That area is so beautiful, just like its neighbor, Zion National Park.
The Canyoneering route consisted of 8 rappels for us. Some of them were really big and really pretty! With the canyon being so short, is never took us long to get from one rappel to the next.
This canyon is a winner! Short, great views, good hiking, big rappels and plenty of water!

Thanks for posting up Blake.
I’m also suffering from trip report withdrawal. But more importantly, canyon withdrawal. This is my longest spell not seeing a canyon in a month. With all the recent snow down south, I’m pondering if I need to wait a bit more. Ugh.
Nice pics! Looks like a good one.

I hear ya. This was the last canyon I did. Hard to believe that it has been 6+ months since I’ve done a tech canyon!

Thanks Ram! It was a fun canyon. It took me 7 months to finally get the video done, but it was fun to re-live the adventure by making it.

Thank you. Suffering from trip report withdrawal. Also a nice touch throwing July heat at us as it snows like heck here. Still have not been there yet. Wonder what it looks like now? Ummmm.
