    Sounds like fun. Not sure I can take off either of the next two weekends due to kid commitments (next weekend is Halloween, right?).

    Sunday is. The next sunday is daylight savings time, so I guess the return trip would be an hour shorter. I can do anything through the 21st of Nov.

    Sweet. Are we camping? I just bought a new cold weather bag I need to try out.

    I am on the fence about camping vs. hotel, it's getting pretty cold at night. IDK...

    I bought a zero degree bag. I should be comfortable with nighttime temps down to ~25-30F. If hotel is the direction we decide to go that probably needs to be booked pretty soon.

    I have a reservation at the La Quinta, but it can be cancelled, I just wanted to have the option. I'll probably go that way unless there's a great camping option that comes up, it's just easier.

    It sounds like you have chosen a great time of year and rough gameplan, have fun y'all!

    Change of plans: I spoke with Trent at Johnny Park and he was pretty interested in Bangs Canyon and the Delores Triangle area, but we were both kind of ho-humming over Moab trails, we've both done a lot there and only had one trail we both hadn't already done in mind. So I think I'd like to move this to Fruita / Grand Junction, save Moab for another time. There are a lot of great trails there, lodging is cheap, camping at Rabbit Valley is awesome and we can still do Bangs Canyon and the triangle roads. I'll post up a new thread soon.

    I was just there two weeks ago and it was empty, maybe four campsites taken. It was always like that a few years ago, but on the weekends it's always full now and there was some trash at some sites but worst of all my wife came out of the women's room just east of the start in horror; someone had skipped the toilet, leaned up against the wall and pooped the floor. In the "ladies" room. I'm all for whatever changes they make, it's a beautiful area and I'd love to see it stay that way. The biggest problem with camping there is the same as Sand Flats in Moab, rats and other rodents. Hopefully reservations will help with keeping things cleaner. People suck.

    I'm weighing this area and another for a couple of days starting around 4/20, I'll post up when we're sure.
