What to expect at BluuGnome.com

At the moment, the majority of the content on BluuGnome.com is canyon beta.  The intent is to "eventually" add other useful information that may be helpful to the canyoneering community.

 The beta here is written with the intent of being "used" by those that wish to go enjoy the canyon as well.  The route descriptions are not just "show and tell" with little to no information.  Route descriptions include GPS Coordinates, Maps, Written Descriptions and other bits of information.  There are also links to pictures for each canyon which can help get a feel for what the canyon will be like.

The route descriptions attempt to appeal to two kinds of people, those that like a lot of detail and those that do not.  The quick facts at the top of each description will give basic information for those only looking for that.  Reading further will provide the details others like to have access to.

In another way the route descriptions attempt to relate to two kinds of people, those with GPS and those without.  GPS is very helpful and sometimes almost needed.  But the route descriptions are also intended to be used by those without GPS as a step by step guide through the canyon.

Life has me tied to a specific geographic location for now.  This limits the area of canyons covered.  California, Nevada, Arizona and Utah are primarily what are covered here.  Some of the main areas covered are Red Rock Canyon National Conservation Area, Zion National Park, Death Valley National Park and North Wash.  There will also be canyons in other areas like Capitol Reef National Park - Utah, Coconino National Forest - Arizona, Escalante National Monument - Utah and Grand Canyon National Park - Arizona and Utah.
