How about taking the back road to Bryce? Drive over to Price UT, then past Goblin Valley State Park to Hanksville, through Capitol Reef NP to Torrey, Through Grand Staircase Escalante NM to Escalante, then on to Bryce, with a chance to sidetrack to Kodachrome Basin State Park. Its a longer...

I car camped, but day hiked the same distance as if I had backpacked, without the pack. Sent from my SM-A125U using Tapatalk

I recently took a week to do a solo camping / hiking trip on the Utah West Desert section of the Pony Express Trail. I originally planned this as a backpacking trip but life intervened and I decided to cut out the backpacking part. I've never gone on a multiday trip like this alone. I had...

I have developed a fascination with Utah's west desert, or more specifically, the Pony Express Trail between Simpson Springs and Callao, UT. I am in the final stages of preparing for a week long backpacking trip following that section of the trail. This will be my first solo trip. My route...

Has anyone been up Timp recently? Are the trails clear yet? Sent from my SM-A102U using Tapatalk

@Perry, I'm not in any rush. Just looking forward to any advice or suggestions you might have.

Thanks, I wasn't sure how to tag him, I would really appreciate any advice he might have.

Hello everyone, I am going to try something new this year, instead of planning a group backpacking trip I am going to go solo. I have been watching Perry Taylor's excellent youtube series "Looping the Highline" and have decided to use that as a jumping off point for my own trip. I am looking...

I sincerely hope your wife gets better soon, and you too. I've been watching your Looping the Uintas videos at least once a week since I first saw them back in June, and have resolved to do a similar trip next summer. Those reports were really well done. I will certainly keep you and your...

I just picked one up at Cabelas at that price. Paid less than the used asking price on ebay. Sent from my SM-A102U using Tapatalk

The East Fork Fire is active in the next drainage to the east of that loop. More info at https://inciweb.nwcg.gov/incident/maps/7052/.

Janice, Thanks for asking. There is a saying that no plan survives contact with the enemy, and that has generally been my experience with these kinds of trips. I've learned that it is always best to be flexible and have alternatives in mind. That being said I feel it was a very successful...

Thanks for the info, especially about the poison oak. It looks like river flows are starting to drop off now too, so the outlook is improving.

Thanks for the response. I had heard that the descent into Death Hollow was precarious. I was thinking that if we did go that route we would camp near Sand Creek and do a day hike without packs to Death Hollow, but even that would depend on how things looked once we got there.

I am looking for any recent information concerning conditions along the Escalante River from town to the Highway 12 bridge, and / or along the Boulder Mail Trail. I'm taking a group of 12-13 year olds on their first backpacking trip next week (June 24-29, 2019) and am concerned about the state...

Cliff Lake is definitely worth the effort, good fishing and view.

Uintas. Perhaps the Red Castle to Henry's Fork loop? Plenty of fishing, plus Kings Peak, and bears typically are not a problem.

You could do a loop from the airstrip to death hollow, then down to the Escalante River, along the river to the Bowington road junction, then back up to the BMT and ending at the airstrip. I've never done it, but I've been thinking about it. This map shows the Bowington road, or at least what...
