The first took us to the banks of the Colorado River in
Lathrop Canyon. It was here, in 1986,
that the idea for Pass Patrol was born.
Every time I visit that beautiful canyon, I recall bits and pieces of
the conversation that filled the air around a flickering campfire on that cool
March evening. But most of all, I
remember when one person looked at me and said, “You aughta write a book.” Since then, I have written nine books,
produced three videos, and formed a 4x4 travel club that schedules 100 days of
trips each year throughout Colorado and Utah.
The second side trip took us to White Crack Camp which is
the closest point the White Rim Trail gets to the confluence of the Colorado
River and the Green River. Although an
experienced backpacker could make the journey from White Crack to the confluence,
Pass Patrol gets there from the other side of the river by using a 4x4 road
called Elephant Hill.
The third side trip was a one hour hike into Queen Anne
Bottom. At one time a ferry carried
passengers and cattle across the Green River to Anderson Bottom on the west
side of the Green River.
