March Canyon Trip
Headed down by Lake Powell and did yet some more... You guessed it... Canyons. It was another great trip aside from the nasty wind that didn't seem to want to let up for us. We did Purgatory, the start of Good Day Jim (more water than we were prepared for so we bailed early) and Limbo. Great canyons (you can't tell because of the lack of pics) and a great trip, I only have a few pictures, mostly of views of the lake.

After Limbo we hiked to some massive cliffs above the lake
The master photographer (Dan) at work, hopefully he got some pics I can add later.

Death Valley Canyoneering
I was getting a little tired of all the cold weather in Salt Lake. I love the snow, but I love warm weather too so Josh and I headed down to Death Valley to hit up some canyons and do a little climbing in Red Rocks. First day we did Styx Canyon, second day we tried to summit Pyramid Peak but didn't quite make it to the top, day three we did Darwin Canyon, and day four we climbed at Red Rocks and drove home. It was a great time soaking up the near 80 degree days!
