Back on the River for the First Time This Year....Finally!!

[Riverkilt]

Got back on the water and floated down Glen Canyon of the Colorado River today. Beautiful day for it. Took my new Utilikilts black workman's along this trip. Kilt #80 on the river...



We put in at Petroglyph Beach to hike to some Puebloen petroglyphs



That's Horseshoe Bend Overlook at the top of the cliffs in the background.



Pleat shot. It was 95F and like a solar oven on the river. The Colorado River is 45 degrees F below Glen Canyon dam so wading in the water is a fast way to cool down.



End of the trip at the dock at Lees Ferry. Downstream is Marble Canyon then the Grand Canyon. Folks in the background are outfitting for a down canyon trip.

I'll be here in Page - Working the 6th and 10th....a long beautiful drive to Moab though....guessing you already know Moab well and will enjoy being "upriver."

Aye, lad, spent many a summer in Moab, Utah, and the Southern Highlands known as the LaSalle Mountains to the east. Hope we can connect on a later date. Otherwise, we be seeing ya at Zax's Pizza.

Looks like fun. This is off topic... BKPowell, are you related to Lord Baden-Powell (as in the Founder of the Boy Scouts)? Your avatar caught my eye and then your screen name.
