Out-of-towner coming to the Escalante River area soon, and am trying to plan what gear I'll need to bring. I'm hoping folks here can give some advice on water depth that I can expect to run into on the following hikes:
--Peek-A-Boo, Spooky, & Brimstone
--Zebra & Tunnel
--Coyote Gulch
--Antelope Canyon
From what I've read, Coyote Gulch is the main one to plan for, but the water doesn't sound like it's more than ankle/calf deep at most. Am I right about this?
I'm planning on bringing Neoprene socks and canyon shoes that can get wet and dry quick. I also have a couple of Ultra-Sil Sea-to-Summit dry sacks for my sleeping bag, dry clothes, and down jacket, as well as small waterproof zip bags for electronics, and a trash bag liner for my pack. Does this sound like it will be enough? Or should I anticipate needing to protect my pack and gear from being submerged and/or swimming at any point?
Thanks in advance!
