ATT says their cell phone coverage includes Comb Ridge and the area around it. Is that true?

Thanks. I figured that was the case, since Utah has more land and fewer hunters than Wisconsin. I've been to Utah a number of times but never in the fall.

I may get a couple days around Cedar Mesa in October. I live in Wisconsin, and during the nine day gun deer season, it's not a good idea to be in the woods without some blaze orange. What's it like around Comb Ridge and Grand Gulch in October? Are there enough hunters that it's an issue?

I'll be camping and doing day hikes around Blanding Utah in May. I'll be driving a rental, a small SUV with 4 wheel but not high clearance. I'd like to spend one night in the La Sals, and would like suggestions for places I can drive to in such a vehicle where I would have good views to the east.

We hiked part of the way to Sid's cabin last October. We camped on the overlook. There's a rock art panel up high that was easy to see but impossible to get to, The trail out of the wash was very hard to follow with cairns leading to many different paths. You can see lights along the highway...

I got a BLM office on the phone, gonna mail me a couple of the Arizona Strip for $5 each. All I need is enough to navigate on roads, too damn old to backpack anymore.

Are any good printed maps of this area? I can find downloads, but I don't trust my tech skills with my life and want one printed.

In October of 2015, me and my friends tried to drive Butler Wash Road starting at Hwy 95 in a passenger van. Things didn't go all that well - we got stuck in a sandy wash. A good samaritan with a tow chain got us out and we bailed, going to Grand Gulch instead. We had a fine time in the gulch...

I'd like to thank everyone who answered my questions, and the people who maintain this page. I got lots of useful info that will make my upcoming trip that much cooler. Things have sure changed since I started hiking in 1982, Back then, all I had were forest service maps.

I'm going to spend a few days camping along Butler Wash. I see there are several ruins along there, but nothing with much detail about finding them. Anyone give me some tips or refer me to a good source, I'd appreciate it. I have the Trails Illustrated map, which has them marked in Grand Gulch...

I think we're go to spend a few days along Butler Wash. Do you have any opinion about travelling from the north to south or the other way around?

Can you suggest a map?

Thanks for the tip. I have a couple of people new to the dessert, and I want to show them a good time without making them go on any forced marches. This sounds perfect.

Are the roads on either side of Comb Bluff between Hwy 95 and HWY 163 passable in a passenger car? Would there likely be many people around first week of October?

Thanks for the info.

That's what I was hoping for. We can always go to Grand Gulch, but I've been there a couple of times.

We're for sure hiking in the Reef around Temple Mount. We're traveling on I-70 cause its fast and its a long way from Cheeseland the Swell. I'm trying to find ruins - structures - that we could get to that wouldn't add any more driving than necessary.

I'll be driving from Wisconsin to go hiking in the San Rafael Swell in October. We'll be driving east on I-70. We'd like to see some ruins. Can anyone suggest something that we could reach in a passenger car with a hike of 4 miles or less? The closer it is to I-70 the better, as some of us...
