No, we didn't go into Dark Canyon, nor Grand Gulch. Grand Gulch was nixed on account of no dogs allowed below Collins Canyon and I decided against Dark Canyon after consulting with the ranger at Kane Gulch Ranger Station. Dark Canyon is at a higher elevation and they still had snow pack, which would mean a muddy hike at best. So I ad libbed and chose a Cedar Mesa canyon that I haven't yet visited. I'm very glad I did... Here is a view from the canyon rim... Believe it! I coaxed my 9 and a half year old wolfdog Sam both down and up the canyon walls just as precipitous as these! Very proud of the old dog. Shades of old times when he scaled some of the most difficult 14ers...
