Hey everyone. I'm working on a backpacking/car camping trip into the Canyonlands Maze District for late April/early May. As part of the trip, we're scheduled to spend two nights/three days inside the Maze. We're planning to enter at Chimney Rock and hike into the Harvest Scene on the first day - pretty straightforward. We'd like to spend the entire second day however, exploring upper Horse Canyon. Right now, I'm curious about what lies to the lower, eastern end of the canyon. Referencing my National Geographic Trails map, access continues down Horse Canyon almost all the way to the Green River here. There also appears to be multiple intriguing side canyons to explore on the way. Unfortunately, I've had a really hard time finding any details about what awaits us along this path.
This is where I hope someone here's expertise will help out! Has anyone visited this section of Horse Canyon? What's it like? Was it worth it?
Or do you have a different area of the Maze you'd recommend instead?
Eh, and hopefully that makes sense. Let me know if any clarification or additional details would be useful. I hugely appreciate any help! Thank you!
