A Swell birthday. Act 2: Black Dragon Canyon.

After a nice morning in camp, we headed out of the Swell via Black Dragon Canyon. An always fun and dramatic route. Fun to come across the wild burros as well. Of course after getting out of Black Dragon, we headed to Ray’s Tavern in Green River for an always delicious burger.

Working our way along the Jackass Benches towards Black Dragon Canyon. A fun feeling when you can make fresh tracks in the desert.

Actually the first time i’ve stopped and enjoyed the canyon, rather than hightailing it to Rays Tavern once off the trail.
