From Goosenecks State Park,looking down on the Great Gooseneck where we camped on the second night.
Monument Valley.

Above our first night's camp.
A collared lizard.
The "Bump" camp on the Great Gooseneck.
The amazing pools at Slickhorn Canyon. A real oasis.
Me eating and staying cool. This is how we spent the majority of our time in camp-in whatever shade we could find. It was HOT. Really hot.
Our camp at Slickhorn Canyon.
The pools at the Grand Gulch camp. San Juan in the background,floating by.
The take-out at Clay Hills,middle of nowhere.
It was 106 degrees out.
I was lucky enough to win a(nother) rafting permit for the San Juan river,located in southern Utah,right by the Arizona border. It's 83miles in length and took us five days. We were also lucky enough to check out the famous Monument Valley in northern Arizona on Navajo land. It was the backdrop for lots and lots of old famous western&John Wayne movies. The place was true desert southwest. And we also got to stop by the Goosenecks State Park(which we would be rafting through,and camping in on night two) and check out the view of the meandering Goosenecks from above. It was awesome to see the river from a different perspective for once. Slickhorn Canyon,on day four,is always the highlight of the trip. The crystal clear water in the pools and clif jumping into the warm waters really makes it all worth the effort. If you call this effort.
