Upper Floy is also rich in wildlife and even in modern times has a healthy elk and bear population. Near the mouth of the canyon it is barren desert, but that's not the case farther up canyon. Upper Floy has rocks similar to parts of Goblin Valley or Bryce Canyon, but the rocks are grey and yellow. The far upper canyon is also thickly forested.
I haven't been there for years. What is the current access situation for getting up canyon? People used to go up canyon, but apparently there is a piece of private land to cross and it was gated by the 1990's.
