Our goal was to do Fish Fork in a day. My definition of that varies from doing it without bivies nonstop regardless of how many hours it took, or doing the entire trip in under 24 hours. Either way, the goal was accomplished with a total time of around 19 hours car to car.
We started at Lupine Camp at 0400, got to Lower Fish Fork Camp in Fish Fork at 0600, got to the East Fork around 1500, and back to the cars around 2300 I think? About 19 hours total. To get out, we hiked up EF to Prairie Fork, which we took back up to the car. That was tough. Cougarmagic made cairns for us, so we were able to find our way back without too much drama. That canyon/fork is difficult to navigate in the dark.
This was my 3rd time down this canyon. Me, if you're reading this, stop going here.
No, seriously, that's enough.My ninjas Zach and Mark will add more when they get the chance.
