In the heart of the lower Canyon. The pools of Slickhorn Canyon are a must see during the spring when they have water. From Slickhorn to Clay Hills is the downside of doing the lower Canyon. It can be a real struggle to navigate the sand bars, even at higher flows. Oddly enough, after years of running the Juan, have never camped at Grand Gulch. Grand Gulch #1, Grand Gulch #2, and Grand Gulch #3. The lower canyon typically has a more 'classic' river trip feel to it than the upper, but I prefer the upper for the multitude of hikes and sites to visit.
