"Got tight last night on absinthe and did knife tricks. Great success shooting the knife into the piano. The woodworms are so bad and eat hell out of all furniture that you can always claim the woodworms did it."

Long agoRiver outfitters used to take folks down the first two rappels here. I don't think they do that anymore! But it was a blast when I did it as a kid!

AmazingWe did it in two days. Started around 7:00am from the rim, arrived at Deer Creek Camp at 1:30pm, finished the canyon at 6pm. We then woke up at 4:30am and hiked out and checked out Thunder River along the way. We reached the top around 1pm. I would recommend doing it in 3 days so you can avoid hiking the upper section in the heat of the day. Amazing trip all around. Definitely worth the effort.
