My wife and I just got back from a nine day trip through Desolation Canyon on the Green River. Just the two of us, not many folks on the river this time of year. We were lucky with the weather. I'm leaving a few non-political pictures, and checking back out.

You saw a bison in Desolation Canyon?  That's about as cool as it gets.  

 


My son and I hiked that canyon 15+ years ago.  There are some amazing petroglyphs there.

Utes stocked their side of the canyon with bison. Plan is to guide hunters.

Deso is one of my favorite river trips. The fall colors are awesome. Thanks for sharing.



I bet it was pretty quiet this time of year.

Looks like perfect timing with colors and weather. Wish I could have been there too.

They only allow two launches/day after Oct 1. The weather in the Bookcliff country can be iffy in Oct. River is slow, running about 3K cfs.

I spent most of the time in shorts. Pictures tell the tale.

It's Utah. Guns are mandatory.

BLM folks reported problems with bears along stretches of the river. There is a lot of really good bear habitat on the Tavaputs Plateau above the river, apparently the highest concentration of black bears in Utah. I saw no bear sign, and we did a lot of hiking away from the river.
