It's hard for me to believe that this is not part of a National Park or Monument. The view from the Wedge overlook looks down into the canyon of the San Rafael River. The river runs year round in this desert setting, although at times the water is not very deep. We have hiked through some of this canyon - sometimes in the river, and sometimes along the banks. Our most adventurous hike was about a nine mile stretch through a narrow slot called the Upper Black Box. It really does feel like you are in "black box" once you are in the narrowest part of the canyon. It's a pretty dangerous hike with lots of places where you have to swim, waterfalls, and no way out once you are in the "box". The water can be extremely cold and there are few places to get out of the water to get warm. Another memorable experience in Utah.

I'm pretty sure there aren't many folks out there who know Utah as well as you - beautiful photo. Silly thing is that I've been to a lot of these places, remember many of them, but could certainly never tell you where they are!
