Canyoneering with the brothers-in-law

 

This last Thursday and Friday I took school off to go canyoneering with my brothers-in-law Chris and David. 

Canyoneering is defined as: the sport of exploring canyons (as by climbing, rappelling, or rafting).

We did some rappelling, some wading through water, some sliding down natural water slides, some hiking, and some climbing as we had to climb out of the canyon on Friday. 

We met up with two other guys, Josh and Ross, on Thursday morning. That day we did Waterslides Canyon. We had two cars and did the shuttle thing where we carpooled up so we had a car on both ends, and at the end carpooled back again to grab both cars.

We camped that night. Set up a few tents and had a campfire and everything.

The next day, Friday, we packed up our campsite and went to Parker Canyon. No shuttle-thing this time. When we were done at the end and bottom of the canyon we had to hike/climb our way back out to the top.

All in all it was really fun and I'm glad I went, even if my legs were super sore and achy at the end of it.
