Kolob Creek (Canyon)

by Kenrick » Tue Apr 29, 2014 9:27 pm

Planning our Zion trip for the start of July and was planning on doing Kolob Creek via the Narrows but dont want it to take up 2 days.

I have a couple questions, is how long has it taken some of you to do it? Do you recommend 2 days or bolting through it, where did you camp at? or do you prefer MIA exit...

My last question may be a little out there... Is is practical to setup the Rapel for into the Narrows to check it out shortly, and then climb out and go ahead and take the MIA exit... and... GO!

It has been done in one day, but you almost have to be super human. Also, be aware that hiking out the Narrows is not easy in the dark.

Even on a two day trip, that route is long and tiring for most.

I'm not sure what you mean here. Are you saying to go do Kolob Creek to he Narrow, then reverse the route to the MIA and then climb out? What do you mean, the rappel into the Narrows? There is only one real drop below the MIA and it's a long way from the Narrows.
