Canyonlands National Park High Point Trip Report
on mesa rim (7,160+ ft)
Date: November 8, 1998

On Nov. 8, 1998, my wife, Betty, and I walked out to the end of the
"peninsula" overlooking Big Pocket in Canyonlands National Park. Unlike
Bob Packard, I merely went to rim at the end of the finger of land,
looked down at Wedding Ring Arch, and called it good. In the interest
of continuing our marriage, I did not step on every boulder I could
find along the rim. Far be it from me to challenge Bob's claim to the
Canyonlands NP HP. I make no official claim to the high point, but do
claim the experience of some outstanding scenery.
There are expansive views of the southern end of the park and I
heartily recommend the hike for its scenic rewards.
