| no partners | | Stayed overnight at the Cliff Dweller's Lodge. We stayed there two years ago, on our way to the Wave. That time, we went UP Soap Creek, but I've had my eye on a descent of Soap Creek to the Colorado since then.
Well, the opportunity presented itself, so we went for it. The descent is as advertised in the description.
There were no ropes anywhere on the route, but all obstacles are navigable without any technical gear or ropes. I tagged 8 major obstacles on the way to the River--all are before the junction with the North (technical) fork. I put in notes of how we navigated them. There are surely other routes, but these were pretty good, and none of them involved a major sidestepping exposure.
That said, I would not recommend doing this hike solo, particularly if you are short. :-)
The river views and rapids were a fun lunch spot. Great place to camp if overnighting. |
