Islands in the Sky. The run started at Grandview Point in the Islands in the Sky district of Canyonlands National Park. We dropped of the Entrada on the little-used Government Trail. After a scramble up Junction Butte we ran about 18 miles of the White Rim jeep road and ascended back to the rim on the Lathrop Trail. (click on the thumbnails to enlarge) |
