After last year's trip to the Maze, Nate, Mark, and I decided that the desert is a pretty fantastic place to visit in the spring, so we decided to head back to the southern Utah/northern Arizona region for spring break in 2007. Our first destination was a place called Paria Canyon, where we would attempt to hike 38 miles in roughly 5 days. Now, I know that doesn't sound like much, but unlike 95% of the people who attempt this hike, we decided to risk it all and... *gasp*... HIKE UPSTREAM. However, as is usually the case on my vacations, nothing can really go exactly as planned...
