There's still a bit left in 2017, but most of our trips are now in the rearview. Just like 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013 and 2012's best of and best trips threads, this thread is for your personal favorite photos and videos of the year. This is not necessarily your best shots, or your most frame-worthy, but the photos, videos and experiences you liked the most for whatever reason. Maybe it was an epic trip you'd planned for a long time, or maybe you just really liked it. Be sure to tell us a bit about the photos and include links to trip reports if you posted one!
Here's a few of my favorites to get things started...
Waking up to fresh snow at a backcountry cabin in the Uintas in February was spectacular. Trip report: https://backcountrypost.com/threads/colton-guard-station.6713/
Floating the Colorado River in Glen Canyon in April was an experience I'll never forget. Trip report: https://backcountrypost.com/threads/floating-glen-canyon.7185/
Once again we headed out on the boat the first weekend of June and found the solitude, weather and scenery we'd come to expect. Trip report: https://backcountrypost.com/threads/so-long-barke-diem.7130/
And then the %$&#!* YAMPA happened! Our first year trying to score river permits as a group and @Dave pulled the Yampa River in June! The Yampa is one of the toughest permits to win and one of the best whitewater floats in the west. I haven't made my trip report from this, but it doesn't really matter since Dave's is sooooo much better than mine will be. Check it out: https://backcountrypost.com/threads/six-days-in-dinosaur.6943/
Then back to Glen Canyon in July. This was not a bad place to wake up on my birthday. (Same TR link as above Glen Canyon pic)
And then we spent 6 incredible days floating Desolation Canyon. I was alone on my raft through all of it, and I loved it. Trip report coming this winter...
Now let's see some of yours!
