Green River Raft trip post 6, Desolation Canyon & Gray canyon (9 days, 9/24-10/2, ~3500 cfs)

What's that you say? Rain? Is it optional?

Apparently not.

Who-boy was our tent wet and sandy; packing it away. Still, it was beautiful seeing the mists, clouds and cliffs playing with each other. Plus it was gorgeous light when the storm broke.


the usual suspects
rain rain rain
the Helinox umbrella came to our rescue once again!
R caught the action up close
oh yeah

This area is near the McPherson Ranch and Ouray Lodge, a defunct attempt to make a resort. It's a gorgeous place. I don't begrudge the Ute's for wanting to do one here. I bet the long long long and remote (and probably rugged) drive in is what killed it.

I didn't do anything to this photo that Ansel Adams wouldn't have (bwahahahaha!)


that's what I'm talking about
