Whiterocks Canyon/River Camp

This has been a wild year and it is crazy that it is already August. Because of the new baby, the new job, taking care of the house and the car accident back in the beginning of the year totaling my Explorer, I have had a very hard time getting out into nature like I usually do and I miss it. We finally just went out and had a fantastic little weekend out in the mountains. We tried a new spot up by Roosevelt called Whiterocks Canyon. There is a river that comes out of the high Uintas and a great little campsite. It was our first campout with little Emelia and she loved it, she got dirty, loved the fresh air and had a lot of fun with the fire and all the hands to hold her. I will say her favorite and a highlight of my trip was when I took her out fishing for an hour. The rushing water made for a natural sound machine and she loved the fresh air and I got a new fishing buddy.

Of course when I get out to a relaxing campsite I can only relax so much so I hit the river a couple times for a few hours each time. Spent probably 5 hours fishing the Whiterocks river. It was for sure smaller than the Uinta River a canyon or 2 down but still had fun getting a line wet. I was able to catch my first Cutthroat and then I caught a nice bigger one later on a dry fly which was the first fish of that nature too so it was a good trip. Found some beautiful holes and caught about 10 in total.

I didnt take any pictures of the campsite or anything else but we had some good food and a lot of hanging out by the fire with the Jensen side of the family. Always great to get out of the city and office and get outside, Emmy loved her first campout. Allie and I enjoyed the break and we caught some fish, did the river bath and then headed back home. Lets hope there isn't as much of a break between this posy and my next!
