Canyoneering with the Perrys

From November 6th - 13th, 2021, Steph and I enjoyed a week of canyoneering with Cole, Grant, Reid, Court, and Russ.  We have had the pleasure of meeting and canyoneering with all of the Perry boys over the years, so it was a real treat to get out with five of them at the same time.  This was Cole's fifth trip from Texas to canyoneer with us!  I'm amazed every time he makes the journey.

During that week, we completed Constrychnine, Woody, No Kidding, Witch's Cauldron, Boss Hog, Merry Piglet, Horse Play, Foolin' Around, Off the Hook, and Shenanigans.

Foolin' Around & Playin' Around

On May 27th, 2015, Jason and I went and checked out Foolin’ Around and Playin’ Around. We were short on time because I had to get back to Salt Lake, so we skipped the swimmer at the bottom of Foolin’ Around, and only did the lower portion of Playin’ Around. Both are excellent canyons and I look forward to completing both of them some other time.

We exited on the east side of the canyon, an easy, obvious, and recommended route. Our car-to-car time was 5 hours.

Things got tight going up Playin'. 

The fisheye lens makes the canyon look roomy, but it was only about 10-11 inches wide.
