The Black Rocks area last summer with afternoon light on the river. Then, camp at Black Rocks #4 where the landing is in a fine little alcove. This was approximately 7,000 cubic feet per second. Right now, the river is flowing somewhat higher but it's still not high water.

The Black Rocks are where the underlying Precambrian rock reaches the surface by just a few feet, for a mile or possibly two. There, the Colorado River cuts through it and the result is dark, hard, sculptured rock--very unlike the sandstones that comprise the rest of the two canyons.

We'll be down there Monday and Tuesday nights. Then home. This trip is short enough to be done in a day, but we'll have time to enjoy
