Rappelling and Canyoneering in Keyhole Slot Canyon in Zion National Park, Utah

Описание: https://www.jordanoutside.com/keyhole... We got invited to go rappelling and canyoneering in the Keyhole Slot Canyon in Zion National Park with some good friends. These friends were really experienced and had all of the gear we needed, so we jumped at the opportunity. This was our first time exploring Zion National Park and it was amazing! We headed out early to beat the heat. We drove through Zion National Park till we got to the designated parking area. It only fits 3 or 4 vehicles so this is another reason to start early. We parked  and headed to the trailhead. The trail is really steep going up the mountain. Once you reach the top, you head down a steep trail till you get to the slot canyon.
Once there, we all drank some water and got our rappelling harnesses on. I put on my helmet too. This was my first time rappelling and I was super nervous.  There are 3 rappels in the slot canyon that are about 25 feet at the highest. After the first rappel I started to get the hang of it. I was always the slowest going down, but everyone was really patient with me. There are pools of water in the slot canyon that can be really high or really low just depending on the time of year you go. We brought wetsuits, but the water was low enough the we didn't put them on. After the 3 rappels, we did a lot of climbing and scrambling through the slot canyon. The views inside the slot canyon were breathtaking. As we exited the slot canyon, we followed the trail to the road where we parked. You have the choice of going through a tunnel under the road or crossing the road to get back to your car. This was such a fun adventure and we were so glad we got to go!
