Mystery Canyon in Zion



Mystery Canyon in Zion

A couple weeks ago I was fortunate to go with some friends and canyoneer through Mystery Canyon. Canyoneering involves technical climbing, rope work, swimming, and/or maneuvering through deep narrow canyons.  Zion is spectacular from the road, but being able to see the slot canyons up close was breathtaking. Below are a few images from the experience.

Here we are throwing the rope in preparation of descending into the unknown of Mystery Canyon



Here is an image from above the Narrows in Zion Canyon. I love the view of the tall canyon walls.

  1. Sweet images. Love how you've caught the rope in mid flight. Also, I love the second image. Can't tell you how many times I've seen the waterfall from below. So that's what it looks like from above.

  2. Thank you Ron. I used my Hasselblad H4D 40 for both these shots, so the clarity is amazing even of the rope frozen in mid air.
