The Bonanza Flat Loop Trial Trail has a few things going against it The trail is only open three months of the year, parking can be a nightmare, and as a hiker you have to contend with a constant stream of mountain bikers So what makes this trail so popular The answer was clear when I went in late September—the amazing fall colors! If you are patient and want to see some stunning aspen in all their yellow and orange, this is a hike worth doing Logistics There is limited parking at Bonanza Flat and it isn’t uncommon...

Was thinking of doing this, but it looks like the park service has now banned this activity down there, which is a bummer, looks way sick! Glad you got to do it https://wwwnpsgov/grca/planyourvisit/upload/thunder_river_trailpdf

The link to the area overview at the top of the page has quite a bit of info:https://wwwroadtripryancom/go/a/utah/robbers-roost/Or zoom out on the google map for broader perspective

I always recommend getting the Road Trip Ryan App https://wwwroadtripryancom/go/tripguide to support the site and help with navigation Maps and description in one! Or you can download the gpx above which almost all tools can import

We are running it this weekend, too We also ran it at 500cfs 2 weekends ago Some of us went under that tree, which is arch-shaped, and others went around it Here is a video posted by a group that ran it in June 2011 at 1650cfs They all went around it: https://vimeocom/25878189

Good picture and description of wedge bolt here: https://wwwmountainprojectcom/v/wedge-bolts/108744383

Weathergov point click is useful for that For instance:https://forecastweathergov/MapClickphplon=-11003470374271274&lat=3860885429145057#YLkdXzZud_k

Was this the spot https://wwwroadtripryancom/go/tripimage/showphoto/Mpxe If so, I suspect floods washed out the sand at the bottom making a deeper pool It was an easy step across on our visit
