It is left up to you, the visitor, to keep this area at its historical level. Please don't add, just enjoy. When you reach Bowknot Bend, don't forget to venture up and catch a glimpse of the desert surroundings. Horseshoe Canyon is an excellent area for a long journey. Fourteen miles from the river, one may find the larger than lifesize paintings left long ago by earlier cultures.
Camping Be selective of areas in order to minimize the impact on any one site.
Increased availability of campsites occurs more during the low water months of July and August, than during the high water months of late May and early June. Also, keep in mind dishwashing with biodegradable soap, personal hygiene, removal of trash, and carry out of solid human waste. With the practice of good river etiquette comes an enjoyable trip and the satisfaction of leaving the environment clean for those that follow.
