Hidden Canyon - A Day of Downclimbing Feb 9, 2003

The view into the top of Hidden Canyon.
(Hank is so GOOD with that sketchpad and pastels!)
(And fast too!) |
Ram said - its good, otta do it.
Hank said - I'm in.
So we blast down to Zion. A Saturday evening in February finds Springdale very quiet. We consider crashing the Mayor's wedding reception, but feel a little underdressed.

| Hank, surprisingly perky at this early hour. |

Morning finds us swilling Joe at the Mean Bean, as usual, and grabbing a permit at the V Center. We drive to Weeping Rock and pack, then start up the trail. We have 7 miles to go before reaching the head of the canyon, so hoofing it is the order of the day.
