Would these be good for backcountry hikes?

I plan to do a hike through the Paria Canyon in a month and there are often times when your feet/body are submerged in water and mud. Would these dry quickly to avoid any kind of foot rot?

I constantly bring these socks on backpacking trips. They do dry faster than most socks, and while I love these socks to death, for the terrain you are covering I'd be more inclined to bring Smartwool socks only because I think those are the fastest drying sock I've ever owned. Don't get me wrong though, I have run many races and hiked many hikes in wet environments in these socks and have never been less than satisfied.
