Hey guys,
Looking to do a 3-day backpacking trip at the end of this month to start my backpacking season. My group and I are looking to do something in Southern Utah. We originally wanted to do the Zion Traverse, but have postponed that idea until May after realizing that there will probably be snow in the higher elevations of Zion. (Correct me if that's wrong--I'd love to hear that there isn't snow and we can do that!)
Any other suggestions for a weekend trip? We will be coming from Salt Lake Valley. Escalante/Capitol Reef area would be ideal. About 10ish miles a day would be great. I'm not a very experienced desert backpacker, so I would prefer a route that has opportunities to reload on H2o if possible.
Thanks for the help! I'm glad this awesome resource exists.
