- "No matter how much time we gave ourselves, Dark Canyon beckoned to be explored further. Each corner revealed tantalizing and enticing adventures into caves, up waterfalls, and ever further up the massive drainage. Leaving the river and venturing away for a day only began to scratch the itch for side canyon exploration ensuring we would all have to come back again."
