A weekend in the San Rafael Swell | Saturday
Saturday, April 26, 2008
Last weekend I spent some time with my friends Ryan and Clint exploring the San Rafael Swell. They arrived early Friday, but I was stuck working until 5:30pm that day, so I arrived after the cover of night....and after taking a wrong turn and getting down a narrow bumpy road with my truck and trailer.Once I found a place to turn around, I arrived at our campsite under Cedar Mountain sometime after 9:00pm.
After a good nights sleep in the back seat of my truck, I woke up early and repaired a minor coolant leak before heading out for the day. Once the repair was complete, we get loaded up and headed for Devils Racetrack. One our way there, we crossed the San Rafael River at Fuller Bottom and sped through the desert along The Red Ledges until we finally reached Coal Wash.

Crossing the San Rafael River at Fuller Bottom
All 3 of us in Coal Wash
A little ways down Coal Wash, we stopped to check out The Drips (a seep that was dripping from the square shaped wall of the canyon). A little further down the wash we stopped for lunch in a nice open area beside a large side canyon. After lunch we finished winding our way up Coal Wash and then continued up it
