East / West Fork of Big Spring Canyon - High Spur
Date: 06/24/2016
Really fun canyons. Went right after big rain storm so we hat water most of the way through. Fairly technical. Glad Brandon took the last spot and slid down the one long one into the pool. But he said it was fun and would do it again.

Middle Fork of Maidenwater - Trachyte
Date: 06/23/2016
Liked this one. A little hike in but not way bad. Really good for learning natural anchors. Some short deadman, and carn anchors were already built and were good to learn from to build our own with the shorter rappels that weren't much risk.

We didn't really like this one. No water at all, obsticals were ok but kind of boring we went down to juilted lover exit but decided to hike back up the way we came to have fun climbing up the obsticals

Arch Tower and Cave Canyon - Northern Reef
Date: 04/09/2016
Me Nicole, Brandon, Tyler, and Grand. Everyone said that this was one of their favorites. Challenging enough to be entertaining. One of the Best Views I've seen, the bridge was cool, and it was different from other hikes. Very green in lower sections. I would bring anyone except for those who would be troubled by the long hike. No signed roads on way in. 4x4 road on the way in was fun to drive. Grants tracked this hike to be 11 miles and the mileage quoted on the way in is off quite a bit.

Ding and Dang Canyons - San Rafael Swell
Date: 04/08/2016
Awesome hike Ding was fun, nothing too difficult. Dang had a few interesting down climbs. One in particular had a rope that was very helpful. Got a little wet and had to stem across 50 feet or so to avoid chest deep water

Crack Canyon - San Rafael Swell

Not sure why labeled class 4. only around 3 minor obstacles to get over. Mostly walked and talked through this one. Very pretty and deep though.

Chute Buttress - Southern Swell
Date: 04/07/2016
Really fun scrambling hike over and through minor obstacles. Great for anyone to ridge to the left of where the exposed climb is. Exposed climb too much for younger or inexperienced climbers

Hidden Canyon - Zion Main Canyon
Date: 03/17/2016
Better than angels landing. Hidden canyon just kept going and going. Had to wade through water and had more than one 4th class climbs. Eventually we had to just turn around. View awesome. Chains and staircase really interesting.

Upper Red Breaks - Escalante
Date: 07/22/2015
Did from bottom up and headed out to the cosmic astray then back down an old road. (last year 2015) Our groups favorite hike period. Used webbing as a hand line many times to help some members of our group get over or down obstacles. Long hike once out. Used up close to 4 liters of water per person.

Egypt 3 Canyon - Escalante

awesome hike. No gear needed and a lot of fun down climbs. Longish uphill hike out. Found an acoustic whisper dome by accident on the way out.

Birch Hollow - Zion East Side
Date: 07/24/2013
Guessing on date hiked. Really cool hike that got me into slot canyons. Repel after repel was awesome. If you were to park a truck(4x4) at the bottom there wouldn't be much hike out. Really fun trip.

little spice at the top and great view but endless winding on hot paved surface make this almost a one timer.

The Subway (From the Top) - Zion West Side
Date: 07/23/2013
Guessing on date. Very few repels and a couple could be down climbed but one in particular drops off with the water into a small pool and you need to repel off of it to stay safe
