Laura Barisonzi was at Canyonlands for a short time a few years ago on an assignment for Title Nine. She has always wanted to go back and explore the area more fully with a focus on the geography and adventure of the place itself. The area contains some of the most rugged and remote terrain in the lower 48!
She used mountain biking, hiking, rafting and a prop plane as ways to explore over the course of 2 weeks. Canyonlands was initially explored by John Wesley Powell in wooden dories so Laura did part of the trip down the Colorado River with an outfitter who uses in the same exact type of dory.
