This is my trip video for an 8 day backpacking trip I did into the Maze and Fins sections of Canyonlands National Park.
I wrote a trip report for it here: http://backcountrypost.com/threads/8-days-in-the-maze-canyonlands-np.3553/#post-41451 . But my pictures don't show up anymore (a Facebook issue), so it's not that good of a read (I did try to edit and add new photos in there, but the website won't allow me to upload images). The exciting part of this trip was a 24 hour stretch of rain while I was down in the Fins, which resulted in multiple floods.
Here is a link to the route on Caltopo: http://caltopo.com/map?id=2D5E

. But your confusing trips. That was my Lower Basins/Monument Basin trip across the river in Island in the Sky. I had no food the last day, and hiked maybe 12 miles or so before climbing straight up maybe 1200 feet in the heat of the day. Then I stuffed myself with food when I got back to the van. Already dehydrated, eating food only made things worse. Taking caffeine pills earlier that day didn't help either. I got dizzy, my heart was racing, and I was burning up. I had to lay down for an hour in the shade before being able to stand up. It was pretty scary. Think back to my video where you made the wise crack about combing my hair
