In 2021, author Morgan Sjogren found a faded hat with ?Glen Canyon Country Club? stitched in purple thread. The hat?s mysterious origins were revealed when she wore it during a backpacking trip with friends on the Kaiparowits Plateau. Two long-time residents of Page, Arizona, recognized it from the old golf course overlooking Glen Canyon Dam.
Historian Harvey Leake, the great-grandson of legendary desert guide John Wetherhill, said the hat needed an edit: ?Glen Canyon Backcountry Club.? The name stuck amongst a cadre of desert rats who are obsessed with exploring every remote nook of canyon country.
Membership to Glen Canyon Backcountry Club has one requirement: loving the Glen Canyon Backcountry. If you?re a seasoned Glen Canyon backcountry hiker, river runner, canyoneer, or archive explorer, you are already in the club.
