Story

We camped near the trailhead for Neon before starting our canyoneering adventure. A couple members of the group were anxious because of the cold weather, and they didn't want to get wet on the first day of canyoneering, so Jared offered to take Marci and Becca through one of the Egypt canyons on day 1 then meet up with the rest of the group the next evening. Anthony, Tara, and I backpacked down and did Neon on day 1. Then we all met at camp, including Ross. On day 2, Anthony, Ondy, Ross, and Jared did Choprock while Tara, Marci, Becca, and I did Neon. Then after camping another night, we backpacked out on day 3.
