Water Canyon (Dec 2005)

Water Canyon should actually be apart of Zion National Park, but it lies in Arizona next to the polygamist town of Hilldale. The hike I did follows the stream up into this narrow subway type section, then continues on for a total of about 4 miles up 2000' to the top of a slickrock paradise.



The cold winter day I went featured long frozen icicles in the subway section.














See the small stone at the bottom for scale of these wavy colorful ribbons of slickrock.
