I have a hidden slot canyon scouted out near Vernal. It appears to be a good one. I have never heard of anyone doing canyons in this area so there will be no beta.

If anyone is interested, I am thinking of going sometime this month (but not this weekend).

So, does that mean you're coming? :wink:

Even if the slot does turn out to be just OK, there are fantastic rock art sites in the vicinity, plus plenty of other sites such as (Fantasy Canyon) to see.

Even if the slot doesn't turn out to be a classic (it still looks like a good one), it will not be a wasted trip. The area is packed with interesting sites. No crowds either.

There's also the Dinosaur Quarry:

No beta... exciting! I've got Powell, and bluejohn the next two weekends. I could go the weekend of the 28th if you're still looking for someone

Another person who wants to go wants to go May 20th. Will this work?
