Fry Canyon-Day 4

These are the 'business hours' of the place we were trying to rent gear from in Moab. Fry Canyon is about a two hour drive Southwest of Moab. One of our Canyoneering guides (Jackson Hole Mountain Guides), Aimee Left to right: Dad, Aimee, Jim (other guide) We rappelled into this crack This water was 40 degrees. We did one 15 ft. swim and the rest was wading through waist deep water. You can see my dad in the background taking the temperature with his dive watch. Beautiful slot canyon! Fremont Indian ruins. Our guides had not previously been up there so later we had to scout a way to get to them. Hiking and exploring Me and Dad Scrambled up to the top of the canyon again This guy was looking for some water. This was the rappel down to the ruins. The rope we had was just long enough. Exploring the ruins This is just stacked rock...amazing it has stood for so long. A little color in the desert The climb back up from the ruins. You can't see them in the photo, but there were tiny Moki Steps at the very bottom that the Indians carved out to help them get up the canyon walls. It was really cool to use them. This is Newspaper Rock (petroglyph) outside Canyonlands National Park. 2000 years of Indian story-telling here. AMAZING. A pack of deer in Canyonlands just before sunset. It was challenging driving with them everywhere. Free range cows everywhere too. We had a face-off with one in the middle of the road. She won. Pin It
