Crazy Canyoneering
From last week. My friend Lian’s first time but she looks like a pro. Obviously I completed what she is doing because how else would I have gotten this shot? Near Zion National Park, which is a mecca for canyoneering and rock climbing. The one thing we learned is to make sure the rope reaches […]
