Beautiful! I haven’t been to the Sawtooths and hadn’t even heard of it until seeing reports here on BCP. How does it compare to the Winds or Tetons in terms of scenery, difficulty, trails, etc?
Wow - wonderful photos, including that owl! I enjoyed your descriptions of your gear and how your dog is now comfortable with this kind of trip. Great adventure!
Thanks for this info, @fossana. I've been checking weather and road conditions in anticipation of our Coyote Gulch trip in about a week, and your details are helpful. I know things can change quickly, but would you guess that an AWD SUV will be ok on the washboarding as far as Red Well or...
Did you go up the canyon there (or try)? We'll be doing that trip in the fall, and I've read about this spot and want to get more info about whether it's do-able for us.
Wonderful eclipse photos - keep 'em coming! I didn't get good pics (didn't try) and am thoroughly enjoying the ones that others took. Experiencing it was really thrilling! As we watched, we all noticed the bright red dot along the bottom and were trying to figure out what it was. Someone more...
Is there a gauge further downstream? If not, any guesses on how much higher the river will be near Coyote Gulch? We're heading there in 3 weeks and hoping to go up to Stevens Arch and Canyon.
I know you've gotten lots of great advice about routes other than Titcomb, but in case you're still considering Knapsack, I wanted to let you know I did it (going west to east) and I'm not super strong, so if I could do it you probably could, too. We had a great trip - here's my report in case...
Hello, fellow Easterner! Hope you have a great time with all these adventures.
Where will you be camping at the bottom of GC? We have loved being down there. Hopefully you'll get to see lots of cacti blooms in May! I hope your wife will enjoy the trip. Training with a loaded pack ahead of time...
What an experience - thank goodness you noticed that "shimmer" and were able to get water there. Makes me wonder how many stories there might have been over the years from people who didn't find water...
I would love to see that, @John Morrow. Silver Falls/Choprock is on our list for the future, and your info for extending LDH/Wolverine was really helpful to us two years ago. :)
We've done two wonderful Escalante trips that you might want to consider, although we were there in the spring and I don't know what conditions are like in September:
1) Boulder Mail Trail to Escalante River - Many people go from the BMT down Death Hollow to the Escalante, and you might be able...
I was glad to zoom for the Steve Allen one (thank you for having provided info about that) and am interested in the Returning Rapids one. Do you know if there will be a zoom option for this?
