Utah Canyons, monuments, parks, ruins. I can take you to places few people have seen.   My Utah schedule normally includes contract trips in Bryce and Zion National Parks, plus my favorite, the canyons of the Escalante region. These are all normally fall trips, with itineraries and prices set by early Spring, so check back here as the weather warms to see what I will be up to this year. After a lot of research, and of course hard field work, I am now offering kayak tours of Lake Powell and the lower Escalante River canyons. Initially, these are all contract trips, but check back to see when I will be offering some open trips. A morning paddle on Lake Powell The topo map on the left covers my favorite playground, the Escalante canyons of southern Utah, and the surrounding lands. The green areas on the map are all open federal lands: The Escalante region is just to the right of center on the map, with the Colorado River through Glen Canyon and Lake Powell just below it. The upper left green areas include Zion and Bryce National Parks and the strip of green connecting the upper and lower areas is Capitol Reef National Park. The brown on the bottom is the Navajo Reservation. Only a small part of the white is private land, most is BLM (federal) leased grazing and agricultural land.
