I had the opportunity to tag along with my son's scout troop and his leaders on a trip to the San Rafael Swell over a weekend. Being that I had the most experience in the area I volunteered to take them on a small tour of the area.
We met up Friday afternoon and set up camp in South Temple wash. Saturday morning we started off by hiking Little Wild Horse canyon, which gets a lot of visitors because of the ease of going through such a beautiful little canyon. We worked our way all the way to the back of the canyon at the Behind the Reef road, then turned around and walked back out the canyon.
We then made a quick stop at Goblin valley and let the boys run around for a bit, followed by heading back to break down camp, then teaching them all a lesson on rappelling on a short little 20' slab of rock across the road from our campsite.
It was a fun trip and so nice to see everyone getting out to see a type of the outdoors they normally don't get to see.
