The 2024 Radavist Calendar: December

“Canyon Country” is the twelfth and final layout of the Radavist 2024 Calendar. It was shot with a Canon R5 and a f6.3-9 200-800 mm lens in the Four Corners region. Photographed by John Watson.

“To the desert go prophets and hermits; through desert go pilgrims and exiles. Here the leaders of the great religions have sought the therapeutic and spiritual values of retreat, not to escape but to find reality.”
― Paul Shepard, Man in the Landscape a Historic View of the Esthetics of Nature

A Lower San Juan River Float: Bows and Vows

River trips on a cycling website? You got that right. We’ve highlighted numerous river trips in the past. As much as we all love bikes over here, we’re well-rounded outdoors people, taking on slot canyon backpacking trips, trail running, 4WD car camping, and, yes, rivers. On a recent outing on the lower San Juan River, Spencer and Blix renewed their wedding vows, with Cari and John in tow and a bunch of river guides Blix works with.

This beautiful gallery celebrates the West’s most precious resource, water while highlighting the beauty of camaraderie, all set in a stunning backdrop, deep within a desert canyon. Read on for some words by John and a fun gallery from him and Spencer!
