Escalante - Horse Canyon Road Water Question

[radioradio]

I am planning a trip to Escalante and I'm wondering about water along horse canyon road (near 37.85268, -111.24197). I know water flows in lower horse canyon, but I am not sure about closer to the circle cliffs area with the low snow year we are looking at. Planning the trip for the end of April... Anyone have any beta?

Now personally came down that road and canyon years ago. I personally do not remember any water sources. I packed a bunch of water to lower Horse where I remained a few days once there was water. Best to you.

it has been a while since I've been in there, but I don't think I'd count on finding water, unless you get a reliable, specific report much closer to the time you'll be there.

if I were you I'd stash some water ahead of time-- should be pretty easy since the area you indicated isn't far from the wolverine loop road.

I plan to be somewhat nearby, in the Deer Creek / Gulch area, in March. I'd be happy to give impressions about the overall amount of surface water, but I don't know that this'll be very useful to you

You could look at Google Earth historical imagery to get an idea.
