Hype:
This campsite is on a sandbar next to the creek. Nothing special, just some sand. It's conveniently close to the boat drop, so this makes a good spot to camp on the first or last day visiting West Canyon.

Monday, we did a new exploration canyon, which we named Kitty Litter. It had some fun obstacles and was decently short for an exit day. We started the canyon at about 7:00 and finished up around 10:30. We dropped our canyon gear at the mouth of the canyon and hiked back to camp. We then had lunch and packed up our backpacking backpacks. We hiked down West Canyon, picking up our canyon gear on the way and made it to our camp near the mouth of West Canyon around 3:00. We played some more cards and swapped stories until it got dark.
Tuesday, the final day of my West Canyon trip. We packed up camp and hiked about 1.5 mi from camp to the lake. We played cards until our boat shuttle came shortly before 8:30. We rode our boat shuttle back to the marina, arriving around 10:15. We grabbed Navajo tacos at a restaurant. Then we drove home, stopping at the creamery for ice cream on the way.
