Happy Canyon

Aldaron submitted a new Trail Guide:

Happy Canyon

With expansive views over the Dirty Devil River and a beautiful slot canyon, Happy Canyon makes a great non-technical hike in the Robber’s Roost area.

Woot! That's cool.
Thx for sharing, Keith!

Unfortunately the Trail Guide isn't visible in Tapatalk.

Way cool. Notice any water sources other than the Dirty D along the way? I'd be interested in doing this as an overnighter.

Other than puddles in the canyon, I didn't see any other water. But this trip report talks about finding water further up canyon. I wouldn't mind going for a longer trip out here like that.

That link belongs to a cool east-coast guy named Daniel who helped me with info when I did my thru-hike in 2009. I loaded up on decent water from near the bottom of the narrows (stagnant, but still better than the Dirty Devil.) Then I found a few outbreaks of water in the middle-stretch of the canyon as Daniel reported. I wouldn't trust it too much late in the season or in a very dry year. Farther up I also found water just above the fork with French Canyon and then a short stretch of running water farther up near the head of South Fork.

BTW -- I think I'm headed back there later this month or early May to finish the hike I bailed on last year!

Nice! Little Death Hollow to Moab then?

Yeah -- that's the general plan, though I might drop in at Hwy 12 instead of LDH. I'll post more soon in a new thread.

Your trips always inspire me...and then make me feel like a loser!

His reports make me feel very, very married.

upper french spring fork has nice water (probably permanent). on a spring trip we found a number of seeps/puddles near the confluence of the N and S forks that were mineralized and nasty, but usable. I'd guess those are gone in summer though.
