An easy one for me! My June trip through the Trou d’Enfer on Ile Reunion. I’m not sure there is anywhere in the world like it, from my perspective (unless, of course, the grim section of Choprock turns out to be cut into Belgian Chocolate

Ditto!! Its a tough act to follow when 2 of the best days of the year are the year’s first two days. 😉 Kerry, great idea. I heard some folks saying we are pretty dull, dull, dull over here on Canyons. Prove um wrong!

Riding to Randi’s photo rescue. This picture and the next 19 after it are the canyon she refers to. And Randi, I ain’t from Arizona!! 😉 http://picasaweb.google.com/aramv14/GrandCanyonFebruary2009#5309194241916414754

Why do you say “completed” canyons? Half of the canyon doesn’t count? I did half a canyon in the summer that was pretty wild and very cool, but I got injured part way through & didn’t finish it, so I guess I won’t include that one!  The Black Hole on New Years day was amazing! Full of beautiful sculpted ice and colorful visuals. Cheesebox on the 2nd was stunning as well.  I did more backpacking & hiking than I did canyons this year, but of the canyons I did, one of my favorites was in Marble Canyon with the AZ guys. It entailed hiking down from the rim, descending an incredibly colorful & beautiful technical canyon, inflating a personal raft just big enough for you & your pack, paddling it down the Colorado for a fair distance, and hiking back out!  A FANTASTIC trip with some great guys! I busted my camera on that trip & didn’t get that many photos, but of the ones I did get, I still haven’t gotten them on-line! I’m worse at photo sorting than I am packing – always putting it off…
BTW ~ Behunin was my first Zion canyon (& my 2nd canyon altogether) and I just loved that one too!
