Kolob Arch and Beartrap Canyon (Aug 2005)

In late summer of 2005, I backpacked one night down in LaVerkin Creek, which is a part of Zion National Park in the Kolob Fingers section. I dayhiked up to Kolob Arch, the largest natural arch in the world. I also dayhiked up into Beartrap Canyon.






A beautiful waterfall blocks further upstream access in Beartrap Canyon. I'm standing in quicksand.
