| ShinLV | Middle Echo  Date Climbed: Aug 30, 2009 | |
| This is mutipule short rappel canyon. The water is very cold. Its colder than another canyon. I could not stand in the water more than minutes even I wore wetsuit. Last half of this canyon is very beautiful. I think this is one of the best slot canyon to hike. | |

| This is actually a really fun canyon even though I hear little about it. The water is skunky though, but what's new in the canyons. Love the downclimbing parts. | |

| I did my first canyoneering trip down Echo Canyon a couple weeks ago. We didn't take wetsuits, and I was teeth-chattering cold in a few places. The rappels were short (we brought a 20m rope) and easy. I could touch the bottom with my head above water at the base of all of the rappels. More details are at http://blog.brucec.net/2007/09/echo-canyon.html, and I have pictures at http://picasaweb.google.com/bruckie/EchoCanyon. | |

| madjohnbo | Loved It Date Climbed: Sep 5, 2006 | |
| Slot was bone dry in early September. It is a good slot for intermediates, or beginners learning the sport. The pothole was a fun obstacle that presented no problems when dry. It is about 8 feet deep, so if it is full you may want to throw a bag over the other edge to avoid treading water. | |

| miztflip | Cold, Middle Echo Date Climbed: Oct 17, 2006 | |
| Super cold water but otherwise my favorite time of year to be in Zion. NO other people and no shuttles. It had rained alot and the potholes were full of water. | |

| cp0915 | Middle Echo | |
| Descended this one a few years ago while on one of my many climbing/canyoneering weekends in Zion. Also attempted a bottom-up Middle Echo in super-gnarly snow-ice conditions with Ram in early summer 2009. Super intense. Unsuccessful. | |

| madsjim | Fun Canyon | |
| This was my first canyon and it was very fun. Like Scott said it is well bolted, but for those who want to have fun in a slot canyon, this is it. We did it in September and it was dry compared to normal but still really full of water and wetsuits were needed. It takes only a few hours and I recommend it as a good time for people with moderate skills who want practice. | |

| Scott | Did it Date Climbed: May 19, 2007 | |
| Did it on May 19. The rumored techical difficulties were missing so we were a bit disappointed. Still a nice hike. | |
