Big C wanted to run Cottonwood Creek (the outlet of Joe's Valley Res.), so Princess P and I went with him and made the river over the mountain. Our friend A came as well, to see the beautiful river. It is one of the few rivers in Utah that has clear water instead of brown.

A brand new fawn trying to hide from us. |
The drive over to Joe's Valley is so pretty. We go straight over our mountain and down the other side. We saw a momma deer and a tiny, new fawn in the middle of the road. The fawn laid down in the road it was so scared then ran away and laid by a tree. I snuck up and took a photo. I can't believe how well they are camouflaged. I never would have seen it if Big C hadn't pointed it out.

Big C braces so he doesn't flip. |
Even though it was Big C's first time running this river, he had a clean, smooth run and loves this river more than ever. This was always his goal river to do when he got good enough. Now he does it all the time.

Princess P is so beautiful! |
When he got to the take out we had a little al fresco lunch by the river. It was such a pretty day. Joe's Valley is one of those hidden little oasis in the desert that no one knows about. It is such a gorgeous place and there is hardly ever anyone there. We love it!
