I have been reading a lot of trip reports and going through Utah hiking books looking for hikes that would be a good introduction to the Escalante area. We are looking at sometime late March to Mid-April most likely just a 3 day, 2 night trip. We are open to a variety of day hikes or if there is a good overnight trip that is highly recommended fitting that in.
One of the main problems I have been running into is determining which of these hikes/trips can be reached by a passenger car. I have been primarily looking at the following hikes: Lower Calf Creek, Zebra Canyon, and the Upper Escalante Canyon. It looks like the Upper Escalante Canyon should be okay with a passenger car but we would most likely have to hire a shuttle service. Are the other trails accessible by passenger car or would we need high clearance or 4x4. I'm also open to suggestions of other trails to check out. At the moment the only restriction placed on me by my wife is no required swimming or deep wading.
Thanks.
