On Saturday the 1st, I went Canyoneering with the Dixie State Outdoor club. We drove up to Leeds (10 miles south of Hurricane) and took a scenic drive up a canyon. Once we got to Yankee Doodle (the canyon we explored), we repelled down a 150 ft. cliff, to the middle of a ravine. I was so scared! It was definately worth it! We hiked about 5 miles, up and down, crawling, swinging from rock to rock, and finally, scaling a rock face out of the canyon. It was Amazing!!
The whole group. Left to right- Brittany, Guy From Africa, Guy from Guatemala, Brady, Haley, Casi, Me and the guy crouching is from South Africa.
I may look happy, but really I was about to piddle my pants.
Getting past this part made everything else seem easy. You have to fall backwards over a cliff.

Sliding down a rock, the buttons on my pants kept snagging so I decided to run down it instead.
We had to go star style across this ravine. There is a creek 20 ft below and our bodies were intersecting the sides of each wall. We were flat, or parallel to the bottom.
The Whole Group-After Picture-We were filthy!
