Options for Mid May

Its a couple of miles from the parking lot to drop in at Hamblin. I was thinking about dropping in there, and hiking down to Coyote Arch then back out to Chimney since I haven't been that way before. I am trying to figure out how we will be spending our 4 days.
April
25th.Have a spot reserved in Goblin Valley to camp that night
26th. Hike Little Wild Horse, then drive down to Hole in the Rock road.
27th. Hike down to Lake Powell for some fishing and swimming.
28th. Day Hike Coyote Gulch (not sure the route yet)
29th. Peekaboo and Spooky then go home.
I am taking my sister and brother in law that have never been to any of these places, so I am trying to give them some good stuff.

Skip LWHC and do the Ding Dang loop.
Also, check out the slot in Farnsworth.. short and supper sweet.

I found it, just North of the road where you head south to Goblin, right?

Right, a few rough spots but you only need clearance. Park here 38.666919,-110.61533 then follow the old road/trail west towards the slot.

That looks pretty sweet! I think I will hit that one next time I need to get out for a quick over nighter. I am trying to do this area as a quickie this trip. Thought about skipping it all together and just heading to Escalante. I got a few weeks to get it all together.

So... its and EASY 4 miles from chimney rock to Jacob Hamblin and 3 of the 4 are really pretty.
How far it it from the rib exit at Jacob Hamblin to the car park?
