Folks,
A group of us are headed to Robber's Roost for the weekend. The plan is to drive in from Green River on Saturday morning, do a shorter canyon on the way in, camp at a second canyon, do that one the second day, then pack up and do a shorter canyon again on Monday morning.
I have chosen Little Blue John on the way in. That night we'll camp somewhere near High Spur, and do that one on Sunday, then pack up and head out Monday and do NEEP (Pasture canyon) on the way out.
What I'm confused about is how to get from Little Blue John to High Spur. AJ's site says 24 mi to Blue John but 46 mi to High Spur, and from what I can tell it's a very different driving route- but looking at Google Earth (and following the roads) they don't seem that far apart.
Anyone that's done those two canyons - are they really that far apart and what's the best driving route?
Are we cool to camp "near" High Spur?
And finally, is NEEP a good one on the way out, or is it just too far out of the way. We need a shorty because we're driving home to Denver after the trip.
Anyone got any advice for me?
Thanks in advance,
--Bill
