Canyons!
After our inaugural canyoneering trip to Moab in November we decided we needed more. Detailed scouring of the Interwebs showed the desert surrounding Hanksville, Utah to have a plethora of great canyons, and, most importantly for us, readily available GPS coordinates to walk us straight to the first rap, ensuring our novice abilities weren’t tested in some inescapable drainage we thought was correct.

I’ve wanted to go to NYC for a while now, and with the opportunity to go before a work trip I decided this would be a good time. The original plan to get Megan a ticket and totally surprise her while at work didn’t quite pan out, but she was still surprised when I told her the Sunday before leaving, and, this actually worked out pretty well since she was able to help plan out the trip and find things to do.
Jump to Friday afternoon.

Our 4 day Moab trip was conceived only a few weeks before leaving. The four of us had gone to the climbing gym Sunday morning and then grabbed a cup of coffee and sat out by Clear Creek in Golden when I suggested it might be fun to squeeze in a weekend trip before winter really arrived. Thankfully the time off worked for all involved and we met up at Dan’s around 2:30pm for the 6 hr drive to Moab.
Dan’s Outback was stuffed full. We were car camping so packing light wasn’t really on my mind but on top of all the climbing and riding gear combining the cars at Dan’s was a challenge.
