Diana's Canyon, April 15

A Lawyer and an economist walk into a canyon...

Not really a joke, but sounds like a good start.

Here was a fun trip!

The last rappel, about 25 feet tall. Although the trickiest of them all!

A nice group photo mid way through the canyon.
The rappel that leads right onto the heart of the slot!

Overlooking the canyon towards Clear Creek Mountain.

East Quail Canyon

On March 29, we took a great family of four out on an awesome Half Day Canyoneering trip. The weather was excellent, we had 3 rappels, lots of down climbs, and here are some of our pics. These ones are worth 10,000 words!

Crawling through the "boulder cave".
At the end of the canyon, the family poses for one last picture before the exit hike through a seperate stream flowing canyon!
Dad makes the final rappel, and short, but stunning 20 foot drop, leading deeper into the canyon.
Stemming across a shallow pool of water. May as well keep the feet dry as long as possible...
