To do in 2024 - May: We have a 30 mile Capitol Reef backpack trip planned for early May. June: 8 Day, 225 mile motorized rafting adventure down the Grand Canyon. This will be fully guided through a commercial outfitter but still very much in the “backcountry”. July: Nothing on the calendar...

It might be fun to try but I’m not going to risk it. It’s not that far of a drive going the long way.

Yep. I’ve taken the main route in before and had no issues.

Thanks! Safe travels.

I'll be driving a stock Nissan Frontier Pro 4x and I'm probably more confident in my driving skills than I should be. With that said, I was reluctant to test my luck with the shortcut and was kinda hoping someone would say that it's no problem at all. I'll go long way to White Pocket. Thanks...

Has anyone ever camped at the Cottonwood Cove trailhead? It looks like the trailhead is outside of the Coyote Buttes South boundaries and looking on Google Earth it would appear that there are places where you could set up a tent. I know camping isn't allowed within Coyote Buttes, but I would...

Haha, yeah, I saw that report when I was researching for this trip. I might consider it in a Jeep but, for most vehicles, it would be out of the question.

Had a successful trip through Salt Creek. We started at Cathedral Butte and exited at the Cave Springs trailhead. We ended up covering about 30 miles in 3 days. We saw a total of 3 other people during the entire trip. There was a lot of water in the canyon. About the only section where...

I'm heading down to Salt Creek next weekend. I'll let you know how it goes. But, as RyanP stated, it's going to be brutally hot late June/early July. And any water I find this weekend, might be dried up by July. I have read that there's a reliable spring by Kirk cabin (mile 3.5) and usually...

Thanks LarryBoy. Between the Kirk cabin spring and upper jump we should be fine. We can carry a day or 2 worths of water if needed. Appreciate the info.

I’m planning a through hike of Salt Creek Canyon in the Needles District of Canyonlands NP starting May 31. We’ll be starting at Cathedral Butte and spending 3 nights in the canyon. I know this is getting to be a little late in the season as far as day time temps go and am looking for info on...

I'm familiar with Maime Creek. Where is Hidden Forest?

Thanks for the info guys. It’s sounds like I need to put this off for another day. I’m looking at scheduling a spring trip with a fairly large group, which would make for slow progress and more opportunity for injury. I’ll maybe plan something in the future with a select few, trusted companions...

I've been interested in doing the full Death Hollow hike out of Escalante Utah, starting at the Hell's Backbone trailhead and exiting at the Escalante river. I've been doing my homework on the route and I've been seeing a lot of mixed reports on what to expect as far as difficulty and technical...
