Keyhole Canyon
Keyhole Canyon is a short, popular route in Zion's. We've done the canyon several times, but never seemed to get any pictures until now. Of course, one of our descents was at night. The Canyon has 3 short rappels, 2 swims and a lot of wading, especially this time down. Recent rains had filled this canyon up and kept a steady stream of water running down during our descent. Sounds like fun, right? It was very fun, but also very COLD! You could see your breath while we were in the canyon. The water was probably around 40 degrees this day. Makes for a fun, short little canyon. |

Like my new wetsuit? |

The first rap is into
a pool of water where you do a swimming disconnect from the rope. Whew!
That water looks cold! |

Our group in one of the pools. Kasha
is there starting the next rappel. Our camera died right after this,
so we don't have anymore pictures. I guess to find out what else the
canyon holds, you'll have to explore it yourself! |
