    San Juan TR

    The GF and i got off the Juany on tuesday. Was a great trip,84miles and five days of pleasantry. With one rapid. Still a great time though. Temps were in the 100's so we made our best effort to stay shaded. Made that ice last all five days too. The pools at Slickhorn gulch were fuckin sick. Clear,warm water with clif jumping. That place is amazing. It's fun gettin laid at every camp spot too. It was my 2nd trip so i didn't take quite as many shots.

    Looking down into the Goosenecks from Gooseneck State Park. We camped down in there on night two.


    We checked out Monument Valley on the day before the put-in. Fuggin amazing.



    The River House ruins,just off the river on day one.




    Above our first nights camp--"fossil stop"


    Second night's camp in the Great Gooseneck. "Bump" camp.

    The oasis at Slickhorn Canyon.



    Look at those fuckin hops,yo. That pool was soo warm.

    The camp at Grand Gulch. San Juan in the background


    The take-out......

    In the middle of nowhere Utah,waiting on my ride in 106degrees. Still lovin it.


    I'll always consider the San Juan a classic multi-day float trip. I kinda like it better at low water though,the water is much more clear and green,and Government rapid is way more technical. But some of the pools at Slickhorn are not as full though so its a tradeoff.
    So local it hurts...

    What about the slightly submerged sand bars the last few miles? That was painful during my low water run a few years back.

    Nice photos, looks like a great trip.

    Yeah,they were a pain on the last day but i never got stuck on em. Made it seem like we were criss-crossin the river the whole time. Those were slightly annoying. My first time it was at about 750cfs,this time it was at 7K cfs and i was still slappin my oars on the bottom in some spots
