I made a trip out to see Colorado, my family and my oldest friends.  All in all a better than great time!  My dad and I went for an awesome adventure.  One I will never forget.  Down into the Black canyon, on a route I dare not mention.  This place makes any wading on the McCloud or the Pit seem like a walk in the park.  Huge thanks to Jeremy and Naomi for helping us get in out of the canyon safely, and for being great company!  A truly epic day.

The way in…  I’ve been down in the canyon before but never this route.

Into a black hole.  The most vertical drop with the narrowest walls of any canyon in the world.

Dropping in over the edge

A look back at the way out…

Finally reaching the river.

A really rad decent.  So damn pretty in there.

Now to find a place to fish.

That will do…

That will do just fine…

We caught equal numbers rainbow and brown trout.  So fun!

Pretty epic back ground for a fish selfie.

Resting up for the climb out.  My dad with Jeremy and Naomi.  So great to meet you guys!!!

My dad, climbing out.

A nourishing tasty meal.  Also a reward!
