    Thompson Canyon/Polar Mesa looks interesting, climbs to 8000 feet in the La Sal mountains, and starts on Onion Creek Road which offers a bunch of creek crossings early on.

    Chicken Corners or Bull Canyon might be good choices.

    Hey Joe Canyon might be good, except for likely brush scratches...

    Thoughts?

    Top of the World is a very nice trip with fantastic views! It would be a good first run for anyone or a good trip for those have or have not done it. Aww hell, it would be a good trip!
