[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 3193211, member: 7900"] Lots of back country in southern Utah. There are even nice areas around the rim of the Grand Canyon that are away from lots of people. One in particular is a place called Toroweap. Not so many people go out there. It is roughly 60 miles or so from major roads and one is cautioned about the roads tearing up one's tires. Some recommended tire plugs and a 12-volt air compressor if one went out there. When we first got out there, there was only one other couple, and they were off elsewhere. They were camping out there. Others showed up just before we left, but it was only a group of about 25 or 30 doing some kind of club thing. Here's a photo taken at Toroweap. I didn't get the kind of photo that I like to get because it was really windy that day and the wife wouldn't let me get within about 20 feet of the edge of the rim. The black looking slide, kind of in the foreground, is from volcanic action and created some of the most hazardous rapids on the Colorado River. The slide is referred to as "Lava Falls."
