We went on a quick little camping trip over the weekend with a few good friends. We were trying to decide on a place where the climbers in the group could do their thing and us water lovers could get our thing in too. One of the guys suggested Joe's Valley. I had never heard of it. It's a world renowned climbing and bouldering hot spot with free camping and lakes and rivers... perfect! It's just a 3 hour drive from SLC as long as you don't follow the directions that google maps suggests. We did, and just when we thought we were getting "close" we ended up having to take a 2 1/2 hour detour on top of the 3 hour drive.... that's a whole other story for a whole other day... but a lesson learned: never follow google maps into mountainous terrain!!!
Time to get to the good stuff! I'll let the pictures speak for themselves... all I can really say is This Place is Beautiful!!! We spent hours fishing the river, kayaking the lake, and enjoying good company. The kids we have between us are best little buddies and us Mom's and Dad's in the group have become great friends! I feel fortunate that our lives have intertwined with theirs. We balance each other out just right and always have a great time when we get together! I am sure we will be friends for life!
I can't wait to go back!!!!

Beautiful!! We take the kids on their first pseudo-camping (in an r.v.) trip next week, but what I'm really waiting for is mine & Brett's trip to Colorado in July. Thanks for sharing your gorgeous pics, it looks like a great time.
Awesome pics. Looks like a great time.
GORGEOUS pics!!!
Great pictures. Where is this place? Which direction from SL. It sounds familiar. Beautiful. I'm ready to go for sure. Looks fun.
I WANT to go there. It is so beautiful! Ryan and I got into rock climbing before Jake was born but we haven't gone a lot since then and I am missing it!
It's south of SL. You go to Price and then take the 10 south to Orangeville. It's sort of west of the San Rafeal Swell.
