San Juan River trip: May 25 to June 1, 2023; 84.3 river miles from Sand Island to Clay Hills with 6 camps: Fossil Stop; Mile 37; Honaker; John's Canyon; Slickhorn B and Grand Gulch. The cfs ranged from about 8,000 to 8,700 and the river was about 6 feet above its normal level. Most rapids were washed out but there were strong currents and high waves to contend with. We were a party of six in four rafts. The biggest challenge was identifying camps with the high water and landing with the strong current that ran over 7mph at times.
