Jen went hiking February 16, 2013 16 miles 3,750 feet gained
Spent three days of redrock fun in the park with my son, sister in law and her son. The two boys ages 10 and 12 had a blast.
We went on 7 trips, including a guided slot canyoneering adventure. Loved the slickrock, planning our next trip back to the area.
- Emerald Pools Loop : 3.5 miles, 350 ft.
- Shelf Canyon-a short dry slot canyon- what a hoot! 1 mile 100 feet elevation
- Angel's Landing: 5 miles 1500 feet gain. Did this at sunset, saw just a few groups coming down and had the top to ourselves.
- Anasazi ruins exploration in Kanab Canyon. 1 mile 200 ft- did this as a diversion after driving all the way to Kanab and not getting a lottery permit to "The Wave".
- Lamb's Knoll Canyoneering adventure in Snake Canyon. 1 mile 300 feet of slickrock scrambling, slithering and rappelling.
- The Watchman: 3 miles and 300 ft. in new snow- was not planning on doing this hike until we heard there were bighorn sheep sighted the day before. Sure enough, we saw us some sheeps!
- Progeny Peak: 1.6 miles 1100 ft. Awesome off trail slickrock scramble to an arch and a lofty summit with amazing 360 degree views.
