Moab Canyons Report

Did a few canyons last week in the Moab area. Highlight was Pleiades as the water was pumping through the canyon…here is a bit of video footage at “Taygeta” falls:

Important note: one of our guys caught his foot in some hidden webbing half way down Taygeta. Took him a few moments to get his leg out but this could be very dangerous especially at the current flow…keep a knife handy if attempting in the next week. Levels should be tapering soon as Moab’s had a good series of hot days in a row.

Great fun and a cool diversion from the hot desert canyons!
