San Juan River Campsites
After six nights sleeping in my tent, I decided to go minimalist at our campsite at Slickhorn Canyon. Even without the tent, the sleeping bag liner by itself was sufficient, and the sleeping bag stayed in its red sack.
Our last night was spent at Oljeto Wash. We had our first significant clouds of the trip, so out came the rainfly for the first time. A good thing, too, since there were a few spatters of rain that night. This view is looking upstream at the San Juan River, with Oljeto Wash entering the river from the right. The tributary is sometimes referred to as Moonlight Creek ("Oljeto" is Navajo for "moonlight"). Oljeto Wash originates in Arizona, and some claim that my hike the next day may have taken me that far.
