Nov Deso

These are some pictures from a Nov. 1st 6 day Desolation Canyon trip with Mike and Todd. All things considered we had great weather for a deso trip in November. I never had to shake snow off the tent and I spent some time in shorts and t-shirt. The trip was intended to be a scouting trip to see if we could find any elk along the river. We saw quite a few big horn sheep, some deer, but no elk.


The cottonwoods still had some leaves, but they were dropping quick.

This is an old moonshiners cabin/cave/house thing.


This is the debris flow that recently changed "cow swim rapid". It forced most of the water to river-left making the best wave train on the river. The debris flow moved truck sized rocks hundreds of yards, it was very impressive. We spent several hours hiking up to try and find the source.
