9-mile Canyon

For our memorial day weekend get away we stayed at my parents cabin in Duchesne and prepared to go the the world-renowned 9-mile canyon. So, this canyon of sorts is...interesting. We went prepared with as many brochures as possible that we gathered from the Duchesne information center. We had a total of about 4 different ones that gave us their own idea of what 9-mile canyon is. None of those brochures told us about the 40 mile drive before we even got to the canyon. So there we were driving on unpaved dirt road for about 1 hour before we realized that we weren't getting very far. In that hour we went about 25 miles and didn't see anything but a bunch of smooshed bunnies. So for anyone that is willing to go more that 40 miles on a dirt road without seeing anything, then the 9-mile canyon drive is for you. But for us, the drive was great because we were able to talk to each other, but for the view...um...NO
