We have many times travelled to Bluff, Utah for a taste of the canyon country. Bluff is less than six hours from Los Alamos and, situated along the San Juan River, at a low altitude best suited for trips late or early in the season. Even at the beginning of December the average daily high is around 50 F. There are numerous places to hike and explore from Bluff, including the ruins and big views of Comb Ridge, the canyons accessible from Cedar Mesa, the canyon rim just north of Bluff itself, and farther afield to places like White Canyon. I have reserved a historic house in Bluff for a four-night stay, arriving the evening of Wednesday December 1 and leaving on Sunday the 5th, giving us 3 days to explore. I will be leading day outings every day. The house has four bedrooms and four baths; the cost per bedroom should be about $300 total for the weekend. Participation in the trip is not limited to how many can fit in the house - there are numerous other places to stay in town, including the Recapture Lodge, other motels, and a few airbnbs. Please contact Bill for information, to reserve a room in the house, or for advice on staying elsewhere in town. I hope you can join in the adventure.
