Surrounded by the Amasa Back, Hurrah Pass, Anticline, and Dead Horse Point and with the Colorado River running alongside, you’ve discovered Base Camp. A one of a kind wilderness lodge.

Hiking the Colorado River
Tom attempts to cross the river, neck high frequently, but all the way across and back. Mission accomplished.
For about 100 feet in the middle I had to dig my feet into the sand to keep from getting swept away but if you keep searching, you can find a sandbar to walk on. It took me about 45 minutes to cross over but on the way back I did it in about 15 minutes.
Great pictures, had to be the photographer, good to see you.
ReplyDeleteLOL, but this time of year that must be the best way to cool off,
ReplyDeletehow bad was the under curent?

ReplyDeleteOk, let me ask the obvious question... why?
ReplyDelete-h
The obvious answer is, I wanted to see if I could do it.
