Grant and friends in Zion National Park & Escalante National Monument 2007

Grant and friends, Dave “Big Daddy” Cutherell, Mike "Old Blood" Haney, Thomas "Young Blood" Haney, Mike "Little Bro" Sible, and Ryan Stoughton recently traveled to Utah to do some hiking in Zion National Park and Escalante National Monument. They sloshed through miles of river in the Narrows in Zion and were spellbound by the hoodoo spires of Escalante. Gossamer Gear was well represented and all gear held up well in the sand and water of the Utah red rock country.
