Mystery Canyon in Zion, May 26 2006:
The brothers Dolf had been planning a canyoneering trip with us for months. Originally we'd
intended to do Kolob Creek but when they arrived to see water running over the spillway and with the
dam managers unable to control the flow we decided to hike Mystery instead. We enjoyed the hike up to
observation point during the cool morning and then dropped into yet another beautiful zion descent!
Although Mystery is one of the easier canyons in zion it's well worth the trip and is definitely quality
adventure. The canyon was characterized by mellow hiking sections inbetween narrow sections with raps
and down-climbs. After about 5 1/2 hrs we found ourselves dropping into the virgin with grins all around!
