Southern Utah trail
|
Wake
up and pack camp. There will be a few obstacles - but the group knows
of them and they should be of no significance. We should be to the
water later in the afternoon - the destination. |
|
Black line is the travel for today. |
| In short order we come across some of the original wagon route. |
| and
nearby is the waterfall obstacle. There's no problem going down - the
jeep will go down. Getting up (to get out of the trail) is the task. |
| This
narrow spot, with pins to shore up the low side, is one item of concern
for the trail. The current state of the spot is of no concern -
it's wide enough. |
| I believe this is the original wagon road |
| Panorama Click for a larger size |
| The Great Bend of the San Juan River |
| Now to navigate around the witch's cauldrons |
| Water - our Southern Utah trail destination |
| Two airplanes - Practice flights |
| This is a rather chunky section of trail. |
| The destination Now to set camp and kick back a bit. |
| This
area used to be under water. Lake Powell is rather low these days. Low
enough that the Halls Crossing Marina (which has a gas station) is
mostly closed (including the gas station). |
| Wherever there is white colored rock - that is rock that has been covered with water. |
