Arete Arch Arete Arch by Randy Langstraat, on Flickr

I have 3 Big Agnes tents (Copper Spur) and the material is thin, but I have had no problems with them with over 10 years of regular use. I always use a footprint. I did have some zipper issues on one of them and sent it in to Big Agnes to have it repaired.

Thanks for the info. Maybe I'll see you on Wednesday when I stop by to pick up my permit on the way to the Land of Standing Rocks :thumbsup:

Well, I personally avoid all interactions with rangers unless it is absolutely required....but that's just me :)

I wouldn't take anything up or down the Flint Trail that doesn't have decent clearance and a low range.

Not always, we ran into groups that were told by Rangers last year that there was plenty of water in Grand Gulch between Kane and Bullet and that wasn’t the case…they were struggling since they didn’t carry enough water with them.

I'd guess if they are worried about the road from Hite to Water Hole Flat, which is usually a decent road for vehicles with a little clearance, then the Flint Trail would probably be out of the question.

Thanks!

It all depends on how narrow the canyon is (and for how long) and what kind of escape routes there are and how big of an area the canyon drains. For Harris Wash, there would have to be a significant rain or storm system in the forecast to make me avoid it.

There is definitely a big boulder blocking the road near Bobbys Hole, a photo of it is posted on ExpeditionUtah.

It's made by a company called Teraflex, but it's specifically for the Wrangler since it attaches to the roll cage in the back. I'm not sure if anyone makes anything similar for the 4Runner? https://teraflex.com/jk-4dr-wasatch-rear-cargo-rack-silver-rails.html

I sleep in the back of my Jeep frequently, and even though I am 6'5" I fit comfortably if I push the passenger seat all the way forward and don't even have to lay diagonally. As far as gear, I have a shelf in the back that is raised to keep my gear on. That way my legs can lay underneath it...

You can't go wrong anywhere in that area. Lots of great exploring in Hidden Valley: https://adventr.co/2020/01/warming-up-in-the-mojave/ Some info here: https://www.birdandhike.com/Hike/Wilderness/Muddy/HV_Arch/_HV_Arch.htm

I've camped at the Cottonwood Cove TH and there are plenty of places to pitch a tent in the sand around the area.
