Need partners-April 28-30
Need partners for April 28-30.
I have a really awesome trip put togethern and can guarantee this will be one really good slot canyon. Long too, with long stretches of narrows.
Very rugged area. We'll have to do some climbing as well, and there are lots of possibilities for climbs.
This canyon is east of Vernal, or northeast of the town of Dinosaur. It should be a really good one, and I have some photos of the lower end.
I hope not to cancel again due to lack of partners. Isn't there anyone out there who wants to do a canyon with me?Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

Sounds like fun...
I haven't done any climbing for years....
If I was more experienced, I may have taken you up on it.
Hope you get some partners!Wilderness is not a luxury but a necessity of the human spirit, as vital to our lives and water and good bread

It's only "science" if it supports the narrative.

More details:
Plan is to do one or two canyons from a base camp on the Yampa River. A few climbs too. This will be over a period of 2-3 days, starting Friday.
I have a canoe, if water conditions are OK. Otherwise we will wade or swim the river (wetsuit). This will avoid bushwhacking to get to the top end.
It will be a good slot canyon.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth. Please take care of it and keep the remaining wild areas in pristine condition. The world will be a better place if you do.

Scott,
I would give my left nut to go but I am afraid you are way too hardcore for me.

Anyway, Kessler goes backpacking with me every other weekend. On June 30-July 4, we're heading to the San Juans to do some 14,000 foot mountains. Since the trailhead is reached by 1880's steam engine train, it should be extra fun for Kessler.Utah is a very special and unique place. There is no where else like it on earth.

If you are interesed, we could do some practice hikes together first for that trip. Minimum requirements are class 3 climbing at 14K and an ability to walk up to 10 miles a day, or 3,000 feet ascent, but I'm sure you have been training.
Perhaps you are interested in joining us for a May trip? Memorial Day weekend I was thinking of The Gulch/Horse Canyon.Utah is a very special and unique place.
