Arizona & Utah; 10 days, 1400 miles

Late on Sunday July 1st I completed a marathon 10 day trip that included off-roading, hiking, camping, canyoneering, kayaking and houseboating.

Friday morning June 22nd , 3AM departure from SoCal
Friday afternoon visit Antelope Slot Canyon and later board houseboat at Lake Powell.
Saturday morning cast off for various points up river over 7 days.
Head up to Romano Mesa to camp over night
Then down to the North Rim of the Grand Canyon

A few pictures....

West Canyon (slot)

starting off...


getting narrower


squeezing up and over boulders


and wetter


deep enough to swim!

We used kids round floatie things to keep our backpacks afloat. The water was pretty cold.

This tree has been stuck forever and is seen in lots of photos.

The one ranger out there has a nice sense of humor. He and his family are in the only occupied house around the area
