Same canyon, different experiences - The Squeeze



Post-Shenanigans aftermath in Ray's



Not a great picture, but we spent 30 minutes looking for the Angel's Landing trailhead. I've done that trail a dozen times. It was a pretty inauspicious beginning to Imlay.



Havasupai is in a canyon. Close enough?

I LOVE that first pic, "SCDE".
Like Tom Jones says, "Canyoneering: Kind of like fun, only different..."

I was in Havasu a LONG time ago. Where was that shot taken?

[CarpeyBiggs]

technically it's in havasu canyon, looks like those guys are within a few hundred yards of the colorado river. havasupai is the name of the village (and the tribe), but the canyon is havasu, fwiw.

Actually, as I recall, the village is Supai, the tribe is havasupai and the canyon is Havasu. Crazy! .. . . . "Good though!"
Any way you name it, it's paradise.

[CarpeyBiggs]

ha. yes, you are correct.

May not be the best photo around, but I just liked the mood this conveyed.
Taken in U-turn route in Arches NP in May of 2011. From right to left, myself,
