This was such a nice day in a canyon. If someone asked me for a canyon recommendation in Moab, I wouldn't say, "OMG, do Granary!" (For the record, I would say "Lost and Found.") But it was easy and scenic and just a fun day with friends. The upper part really wasn't that interesting. A few rappels, a small natural bridge, and it opens up to a nice view of the La Sal Mountains. This is the part of the canyon where I just really enjoyed the conversation, especially getting to know my new friend, Sarah. The beta was odd because it said that, when the canyon opens up, you jump over to the next drainage over, which is Lower Granary. We forgot about this and cruised along until we came to a bigger rappel and saw no signs of an anchor. But this was my favorite part of the canyon. Oh my holy, the view! I think we were standing on a giant arch. And as Brian traversed the rock, he stopped and said, "Look at this!" It looked like just a crack in the ground
National parks, hiking, canyoneering, and other weird sight-seeing
