Adventure TravelAMERICAN CANYONEERING ASSOCIATION (ACA) FALL 2003 RENDEZVOUSJohn Hart A group of about a dozen canyoneering enthusiasts hooked up Utah and Colorado for trips down four canyons. There had been flash flooding in the Cedar Mesa area of Utah and fresh snow in the mountains of Colorado a few days before the Sept. 11, 2003 Rendezvous. This meant some jeep roads were washed away, potholes were pretty full, and in the mountains of Colorado water was flowing fast and cold. Check out some pictures from the four canyons we did. Maidenwater Canyon was the maiden voyage for a new digital 3D camera, as well as for my left leg, broken last May in a waterfall-jump in Maglia Canyon in France. Fortunately, both the camera and the leg worked well - and are looking forward to more canyons this season.
MAIDENWATER - South Fork: A somewhat monotonous downclimb-into-pools slot west of Lake Powell. CLICK ON A THUMBNAIL FOR A LARGER IMAGE (~800x600)WITH A DESCRIPTION
FRY: A pretty sculpted-rock canyon opposite Fry Canyon Lodge. Due to recent rain, White Canyon was flowing and the Fry Canyon pools were swimmers.
WOLF CREEK (LOWER CANYON): Near Pagosa Springs - nice waterfall raps, not too difficult, cold snowmelt.....
WOLF CREEK (UPPER CANYON): 8 waterfalls in a beautiful setting. Water seemed colder in the early am than yesterdays trek after noon. Pretty good hammering in a couple of drops.
