Wasn't sure where to put this; paddling, boating, hiking? Took a trip down to Powell a couple of weeks ago. I suppose a slot canyon was our destination. Sailed the Hobie TI up the channel from Bullfrog.

The water was freezing. Nobody out there but a few fishermen. Made it as far as Smith Fork before we were hypothermic. We thawed out and made the jaunt up the slot. Delightful non-technical canyon.

Had a little accident on the return trip. Gusty winds in the canyon picked up the boat and put us head first into a wall at top speed. Did some damage, but luckily we were able to limp back to the marina.
