Last week some friends and I went camping to visit Happy canyon a non technical slot canyon off the Dirty Devil river south of Hanksville UT. After a long drive on pavement, we aired down and drove to the camp site via a wash and old uranium road. We camped shortly before the road was blocked off due to rockfall.
We set up camp and did a short hike before dinner so we could get up early the next day to hike out then down to the river and across to the end of the canyon. The hike up the canyon and back was great and we got back up top we visited some extra special petrified wood. Then back to camp for a relaxing evening before the long drive out the next day. We didn't see a soul the whole time and the night sky was great as there were no light for probably 50 miles

Another wowza trip and pictures. If you slept under the stars, I assume you put your horse hair rope around your sleeping bag , to keep the snakes and scorpions away.

WOW! Beautiful country!

Do you need a permit to drive off road there?

Thanks Peter Pap and Tony
I slept in a tent, but with no fly, I just had the screen to see the sky. No horse hair, I hadn't heard of that before.
Tony, no permits required to drive off road. You just need to stay on "designated routes" of which there are very many, mostly old mineral exploration roads, some maintained and some not

Great views of Utah, Peter. Thanks!

Colorado is really excited it stole the biannual Outdoor Retailer shows from Utah after two decades there.

From the Denver Post:

"The Outdoor Retailer show made the announcement just hours after leaders of the 1,200-member Outdoor Industry Association and executives from The North Face, REI and Patagonia told Governor Herbert in a conference call that Utah must change its stance on public lands or the industry would move its lucrative Outdoor Retailer trade show from Salt Lake City.

Specifically, they said Herbert must abandon state and national efforts to gut the Antiquities Act, claw back Bear Ears National Monument and transfer federal lands to the state.

Herbert’s office called it offensive that the show won’t even let Utah bid for future shows after so many years of support. Utah’s Democratic chairman meanwhile blamed the state’s GOP’s “far-right agenda” for costing the state the $45 million in direct spending the show brings annually."

Politics won't change the scenery in Utah!

The only reason they want to go to Colorado, is they get to smoke weed. That's it. It was just an excuse.
