    Maze 2017-But seriously, where are Steve's gummy bears?

    Brent - thanks for posting this! I realized that my being ill over days 2-4 were going to make my trip reports a bit sketchy. Really appreciate you documenting this really well. You have a knack for it as well.

    "Mazing" Six day backpack in Canyonlands Maze Dist. Pt 2. April 13-15, 2017

    Thanks for the report John! In regards to the pothole a bit north of Beehive Arch. Think there was enough there to last until next week? We'll be passing by there next Tuesday afternoon.

    The Maze

    "We found a really nice spring here: 38.200761,-109.996265. Could totally dry up but it was flowing well in May 2012." This location is corroborated by a video taken by Joey Coconato in 2015. We're hoping to find it next week when we visit.

    Fairly new to site, from Phoenix area...

    Hi All, I started lurking on this site a few months back when my uncle @Curt posted some possible itineraries for our late-April 2017 trip to The Maze. @Nick has been great with the advice, as have many others. Will be certain to post a TR once we get home! My backpacking experience started in...

    The Maze Overlook and Jasper Ridge

    @Nick - yeah, was hoping there was a 'secret' route from Standing Rock down past Tibbett Arch or Muffin Arch :)

    Have you seen a route that ties them together? Not finding one easily (yet)

    The Maze Overlook and Jasper Ridge

    @Nick - looks like Tex's Riverways shuttle schedule will keep us out in The Maze one extra day. If you had one extra day to spend on this adventure, what else would you have done? The Fins? A better view of Chocolate Drops? Water Canyon to Green River? something else?

    The Maze: Spanish Bottom to Water Canyon

    @Nick - we'll be coming in from Green River the night before we head down the Colorado to Spanish Bottom. Can you recommend a site/sites to consider for camping the night before? The Butler Wash site in particular, sounded good. You have GPS coordinates for it by chance?

    The Maze: Spanish Bottom to Water Canyon

    @Nick - I get motion sickness pretty easily (won't go into detail on my recent whalewatching trip in San Diego). Wondering what your thoughts are on the jet boat rides - should I plan to take some meclizine (less-drowsy Dramamine) to help myself cope?

    Canyonlands's Maze and Fins Loop

    @Joey - we are planning a loop in The Maze in late April. Your video was a great reminder for me to be hitting the gym ASAP to get my body ready for the heavy pack. I sent it to our group as a reminder to be prepared for wind/rain. :)

    The Maze Overlook and Jasper Ridge

    Ah, so anywhere on that closed road (sans the cave) should be permissible for camping - presuming we had adequate water already?

    The Maze Overlook and Jasper Ridge

    Yeah, we'll definitely do our best to protect the cryptobiotic soil. Yeah, I was wondering if even further south was an option than that route...
