Water availability - April in Grand Gulch

[Janice]

One month from today we're heading to UT and plan to spend 5 nights in Grand Gulch going from Collins to Kane. If water is a problem, we have a Plan B along the Escalante but are really hoping that Plan A will be ok. I'm relieved that the Cedar Mesa conditions report has started up again but don't know how helpful the rangers at Kane will be, given their reduced staffing and hours. In the next few weeks, if any of you are in the area and can provide info on water availability in general and/or about specific places, I would greatly appreciate your help.

I'll be hiking Bullet to Collins over Easter weekend (I know that doesn't help). But I hiked Kane to Bullet last year and only had issues with "quality" water the last night camping near Jailhouse. I'll share my map below, I typically mark where I get water on trips for this very reason!

Would love to get a report of the water conditions further down the canyon when you return!
