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 two vacation rentals in Bluff, owned by the Recapture Lodge, for a four-night stay, arriving the evening of Wednesday November 30 and leaving on Sunday the 4th, giving us 3 days to explore. I will be leading day outings every day. We have two houses, the Adams House has four bedrooms and the West House has three bedrooms; each has two baths. The bathrooms will be shared; there is no master suite. If we fill the houses, the cost per bedroom should be about $250 single/$375 double, 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 motels few airbnbs. We will have dinners together either in a house or, if open, in a restaurant in town. 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. To reserve a slot, please get Bill a deposit of $250 single/$375 double; we will settle up in either direction depending on the final cost.
