theksmith 5,778 Posted October 12, 2009 On our last premium trip to Canyonlands we were discussing how beautiful the area would be covered in a light snow... then in the most recent issue of Overland Journal there's an article on some people snow camping in The Swell area of Utah (which is right next to the Canyonlands Maze area we were in)... this got me looking more in to this "The Swell" and thinking maybe we could head up there for a cold weather exploratory run in January or February... anyway, we should definitely hit up this area sometime next year, there are supposed to be some really neat slot canyons and petroglyphs... here's more info on the area: http://www.americansouthwest.net/utah/san_rafael_swell/index.html http://www.sanrafaelswell.org/gallery/gallery.php http://www.4x4now.com/trutss.htm http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1216/is_4_207/ai_78901490/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dzJeepChic 2,897 Posted October 15, 2009 Dude! That was such a great write up! I can't wait til we get up there - maybe we should set up an exploratory this spring? Kman, did you notice in the picture of them at a road sign, that they were 19 miles from U(tah) 24 and 20 from Goblin Valley? Isn't that right by where we got off pavement on the way to Hans Flat? d Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
