Pictures from the Narrows and keyhole canyon
















These pictures were taken with a waterproof, disposable camera so the quality is lacking but they're still fun to look at. We had a fantastic time enjoying the majesty and beauty of the narrows in Zions National Park, these pictures don't do it justice. Some of the more fun times were taking our packs off and jumping into the river when we found deep pools of water...I'm still amazed that I jumped into the FREEZING cold water and will always remember dad slipping as he jumped in, the struggle of Sam and I to get Trent to the top of the rock and Brad having no problem climbing whatever was in his way. Keyhole canyon was a quick climb through a beautiful slot canyon. We wanted a longer trail but the good climbs require permits and fill up fast. Nonetheless, keyhole had a couple of fun 30ft and 20 ft repels along with some narrow hallways we had to shimmy through. It ended with a bone chilling cold water swim that was about thirty feet long...my guess is the water temp was around 40 degrees! I was the only one with a wet suit and boy was I grateful I had it!
