I'll call the Backcountry office this afternoon and see what's open. South Canyon would be fun. I was also thinking about a couple nights at Cottonwood Creek, on the west side of Horseshoe Mesa. There are some interesting things in that area we could explore...

Well, poop. Cottonwood Creek is full on the 22nd, as is South Canyon. Howsoever, I did have an idea! Hows about Shinumo Wash. This is a drainage that goes to the river just upstream from South Canyon, but comes in from the east, which means an hour or two less driving than South Canyon. I've been to the trail head a couple times, and even hiked a few miles down the route toward the river. It's an old, abandoned surveyors route that ends up on the redwall above the river. Downstream a quarter mile or so is access to the river. I've wanted to explore this area for quite a while, and I think we could have fun exploring this area too. There are definitely some interesting things to explore in the area.... Any interest in this?

Twenty-nine mile canyon area! If you have room, I'd be up for this too. I've not done any exploring up in the Marble Canyon area and this would be new ground for me too. Smile
