| partners | | What an incredible trip this was. I think Rob pretty much covered most of the trip so I'll just fill in a few more details and post my pictures. I think for most of us this was our coldest backpacking trip yet. It got down to 28* the first night when we car camped up on the mesa. It was then 27* our first night at the junction with Bullet and Grand Gulch. Finally on Sunday night it got down to a bone chilling 22* with the beautiful snow. Man I love that white stuff but I was definitely reaching the limits of my 35* sleeping bag (next time I'm taking my 20* bag). As Rob stated, this trip was incredibly sandy. I must have dumped a total of several pounds of sand out of my shoes by the time it was all said and done. One thing I will say though is toe socks are amazing in conditions like this. I never once had those horrible blisters that sand will give you between your toes (although plenty did make its way into my socks exfoliating my feet quite nicely  ). All in all this trip was absolutely amazing, and there were scant few moments when my breath wasn't just completely taken away by the amazing scenery in this canyon system. I definitely look forward to doing more trips in the amazing canyons of Southern Utah as well as with the good company we had for the hike. One last thing.....thank you for the Guinness Randy, I owe you : ) |
