Hi all,
I've flown over from the UK to the US to embark on a 2 week trip around the Southwest with a friend. I've done a lot of this before on many different occasions - Arches, Canyonlands, Zion, Bryce, GC,Antelope Canyon, Coyote Buttes South, etc. So our aim was to try and do a few different things this time, and do that end I had lined up:
-the Subway in Zion
-Coyote Gulch
-Kanarra Creek
-a slot canyon in the Escalante
-and a backpacking trip into the Maze of Canyonlands.
Now, our trip to the Maze was going to be by boat service. We've just been told that even if the government shutdown is resolved and the park re-opens, it will be too late to resume service - so our 3 day/2 night trip in the Maze is off.
We don't have long at all to come up with an alternative plan now (am in LA now and trip begins today) so I thought I'd see if anyone had any good ideas for something for a couple of days in Utah or Nevada that's similarly remote/long/etc. And thought I'd give BackcountryPost a try! Any suggestions at all would be greatly appreciated - just looking to do something a bit more out there and not a small day hike in a NP (if they're even re-opened in time).
Thanks in advance!
Peter
