Zion National Park - Behunin Canyon

September 15-16, 2022 - Southwest Utah

10.4 mi  /  2,413 ft

I hadn't done a legit technical canyon in like 8 years. I believe Mystery in 2014 was the last one. So when Jon told me he drew out for Behunin, I was in. It ended up being just the 2 of us...and it ended up being tougher than I remembered. Or maybe I'm just getting old. :) Behunin proper is absolutely amazing with many 100+ foot big rappels in the middle of stunning Zion scenery. The approach, however, is kind of brutal with lots of elevation gain and some bushwhacking through a lush canyon. The exit is not easy, either, with some tiresome boulder hopping. We made it, though!
