Corkscrew Canyon

 So on the same day that we hiked Teardrop we also hiked the slot canyon called Corkscrew.  This canyon is amazing because it changes so drastically every time we go.  We took Rebecca and Jason there in Novmeber and we had to use a ladder to get up most of the piles of rock, and there were some wet spots.  This time all of us went into the beginning just to see how amazing it is, then we stopped when the climbing really started, but the first wall, which was about 12 feet tall when we went in November was only about 5 feet tall because so much silt was washed in with the recent snowstorms.  the canyon was completely dry and they only used the ladder once, as compared to probably 8 times only a few months before- crazy!

 The girls were troopers and had a great time sliding down the rocks and testing new heights!

I say that anytime you have to hike with a ladder, it takes rare courage.
