Desolation Canyon River Trip


Me, Jolie, Connie, Janice and Scott floated 84 miles through Desolation and Grey Canyons in Utah.It was a 7 day trip that was great - took a bunch of nice hikes in side canyons and saw a black bear, ringtail cat, chukars, black bear, bunch of big horn sheep and lots of geckos. 90-100 degrees all week long.  This was our first campsite.

 Sunset at our first camp
 This is called Mushroom rock - Jolie for scale.  We saw the ringtail cat and chukars up the canyon behind this rock
 Sunset from our camp near Mushroom rock
 Another sunset from one of our camps
 Petroglyphs in the Rock Creek drainage
 This big horn sheep was waiting for us to pass by to get some water from Rock Creek
 
 Had my flag stolen by Carsley pirates --- thought all the pirates were in Somalia???
 Sunset from our fourth camp
