Red Canyon to Blue Canyon is open

[Beowulf]

Just wanted to let everyone know that Lake Powell is low enough the you can connect from Red Canyon to Blue Canyon. The steep sand cut bank is still there. Sand was hard enough that the first vehicle was able to make the climb unassisted. After the sand was softened, the second vehicle needed very little help.

A fantastic loop. Try it while you can. Although I don't think water levels are coming up any time soon.

Thanks for the heads up - this one's on my bucket list.

Any photos you can post would be most appreciated.

I did not take any, but I will look around as I'm sure I save a trip report somewhere that had pics.
