The Roost is a very remote area of south eastern Utah. Canyons tend to be fairly dry, and have long exits.

When?

Anytime, although summers are too hot for my taste. Because Roost canyons tend to not hold a ton of water, they can be pleasant even in the dead of winter. Warning! The roost is a long ways from pavement, and not the place to be if it's going to rain. Roads can become difficult or impassable with rain! This also applies to exits up steep slickrock out of canyons.

Where?

Most head into the roost by heading south of Green River, or east from highway 95, between I-70 and Hanksville. The roost is a large area, take extra supplies and maps. Good camping is suprisingly limited. Granary spring is the defacto standard for large groups. For smaller groups, many small niches can provide nice accomodations.

What?

Classics include Larry, TCB, Mindbender, etc.. Currently beta is provided for a remote climb, Cleopatra's Chair.
