Cannyoneering Lower Jump Canyon

Cannyoneering Lower Jump Canyon

The Fools ran Lower Jump Canyon with a group of other canyoneers, and it was a rough one. We finished in around 10 hours, but were exhausted mentally and physically. Definitely do not attempt this canyon on your own. Enjoy the video!

Canyoneering San Antonio Canyon

Canyoneering San Antonio Canyon

After a long break from canyoneering, we made our spring debut by running San Antonio Falls. With the pleasures of a sunny day and ice-cold waterfalls pounding our heads, we couldn’t have asked for a better start to the season…although we were both admittedly out of shape. Enjoy the video!

Canyoneering Supercloud – San Gabriel Mountains

Canyoneering Supercloud – San Gabriel Mountains

After a canyoneering sabbatical, the Wandering Fools ran Supercloud the day after Thanksgiving because #optoutside. There was light rain the day before–enough to make the ground damp and add a trickle of water throughout the canyon–but not enough to make it dangerous. It was just enough to make the experience fun.

Canyoneering Keyhole – Zion National Park

Canyoneering Keyhole – Zion National Park

Tackling A Classic Beginner Canyon: Keyhole Canyon For our last adventure in Zion, we ran Keyhole Canyon. It was a little hard to get motivated after running The Subway and Pine Creek, respectively, the previous 2 days. Fortunately, Keyhole is arguably the easiest, shortest canyon in the park. So we didn’t feel like committing to doing it would be a mistake we would regret for long. After picking up our permit, we drove to the start/end location for the canyon. (The…

Canyoneering Pine Creek – Zion National Park

Canyoneering Pine Creek – Zion National Park

Heading To Pine Creek The day after we ran The Subway, we dropped into Pine Creek, another iconic Zion National Park canyon. We finished The Subway after the Visitor Center was closed, so we had to wait until the next morning to grab our Pine Creek permit. That was fine by us. We did not mind sleeping in a little to recover from the previous 10-mile day. At 9 am, we parked our car at the entry point for Pine Creek,…

Canyoneering The Subway (Russell Gulch) – Zion National Park

Canyoneering The Subway (Russell Gulch) – Zion National Park

A Long Weekend In Zion Ms. Fool and I decided to take a long weekend to run some classic Zion National Park canyons. First up was The Subway via Russell Gulch. We packed up all of our gear, picked up a friend at LAX, then headed north, arriving in Zion at around 1 pm.  After retrieving our canyoneering permits from the wilderness permit desk, we decided to make the most of the daylight by hiking Angels Landing. Angels Landing is an…
