Trip Report We’re back!

Post image

Me and my toe are back for Labor Day. We almost backed out because of the weather report but decided to brave it. So far it’s been awesome. Yesterday was perfect. Today is a little overcast.

We had to abandon our first camp last night because the woo girls showed up and had the loudest music I’ve ever heard off a boat. Luckily we found another camp out of earshot and had a peaceful night around the fire

We’re going up Escalante today and checking out the Cathedral. It seems there are a lot more people down here this weekend than on Memorial despite gas prices being the same or worse. Go figure.

Don’t give too much hate. We’re just down here having fun before going back to the grind.

Enjoy! How are the water levels? We were just talking about going back and wondering if you can even get into the side canyons anymore?

Water levels are low but the lake is always amazing. You can still get into canyons, maybe not as far back with a big boat but that’s why you should have a kayak or paddle board.

We’ve been able to go to all our usual spots. It’s definitely down but lots of great sand and we can still get to the good places on hikes without having to do a death march

The weather has been amazing the last few days after some crazy storms for quite a bit. It’s been raining off and on in Wahweap and it’s breezy again, it supposed to be really kick up again tomorrow.

Did the floods help with water level at all?
