My last visit waypoints were spot on and was cairned, but I would hate to try and do that exit in the dark or hurrying to beat darkness!

We found big pools just down Mamie Creek from where the route crosses I would expect those to always have water Antone Flat has some small potholes with water on our visit, but as dry as it has been this year, I wouldn't count on them you can see one in the pics above, but it was pretty shallow and we visited not long after rain We camped in Mamie Creek one night which I though was a really great place to camp

In a very fun mode Lots of water At 5'4" height, KPH was a swimmer for me Water level about 5' below the lip First man over, pretty skilled climber, climbed out with some effort Traverse line still there DCL Previous visit, KPH was dry and about 10' deep It's as beautiful and scenic as ever!

Coyote Gulch is really amazing If the roads are dry to get all the way out there, that is an excellent place to visit Lots of shallow wading, but do-able with neoprene socks or something else to keep your feet warm About 20 miles, so a bit longer than you are asking for, but goes by very fast I thought https://wwwroadtripryancom/go/t/utah/escalante/coyote-gulch Good luck, stay warm wherever you end up!

Thanks for the tip, I'll check it out next time I am down We looked briefly for a trail up on our visit, but cold wind deterred us from too much poking around

I agree that it’s an underrated area It’s full of rich history, fun for all ages, longer hikes as well as shorter hikes We’ve driven past it many times, SO GLAD we stopped to visit!

2023 might be a great time to visit Per the Utah Division of Water Resources:--------------Crystal Geyser in Grand County is erupting! Our division geologist monitors this site and hasn't seen an eruption in years, but this year, the wet winter might have caused the water table to rise, resulting in the CO2 gas that powers the eruptions to push the higher level water through the borehole pipe

Sadly, it looks like this trail was closed due to rockfall in 2019 and hasn't yet reopened If anyone finds it open, please comment! I'd love to visit someday!

Thanks for the correction, yes, west of the deep gully I didn't look much at the register If memory serves, it was not visited frequently We saw no signs of traffic on our visit It actually took me 2 tries to find the correct route Oddly, the second time we tried it, it seemed very obvious! I know N Cainville is seeing a lot of traffic in the last few years, so suspect S might being seeing an increase as well Really neat hike in my opinion

Updates/corrections to the directions:Step 3 above 73 miles : Go straight, not left This is the same road, not a turnStep 4 above 148 miles : The indicated side road is physically signed as Road 9800 Google Maps has it identified as Co Rd 1026 which can be used for Google Maps app directions, and yes there is signal, but just be aware it won't match physical signageAs you near the end of the road, the trailhead is on the right in the first parking area delineated with rocks on the slickrock as the road curves to ...
