Didn't do the full loop, but just visited the panels in lower Ernie A few potentially useful notes for folks wanting to visit these in as short of a hike as possible it's well worth it, they are very detailed panels!:There is a road off of 24 at 38720504, -110491151 - if you cross through the gate and follow the road, it's easy to get to the rim of Iron Wash and doesn't require high clearance or 4WD! From where the road ends, there is a fairly easy to spot cattle trail that drops down to the wash bottom You can cro...

#conditions Ran this again on June 13th with a group of 9 without wetsuits--warm day and didn't need them Water levels were lower than our visit around the same time last year but we still got a little wet and had loads of fun Canyon is pretty busy with guided groups There were 4 x guide vehicles in the parking lot and both parking lots were full We weren't in a hurry and did an extra rappel at the beginning of the canyon to practice with a couple of the new people before the larger rappels Caught up to a larger gr...

Fremont Indian State Park is one of the often-overlooked gems in Utah It is an amazing state park that anyone with an interest in Native American culture, history, or art should put high on their list to visit I have visited Nine Mile Canyon many times over the years When I finally visited Fremont Indian State Park, I was dazzled by the amount and quality of rock art lining the canyon walls To me, it was as fascinating to visit as Nine Mile Canyon, though with easier access Even on a holiday weekend, we felt we had...

The San Juan River was one of my most sought-after trips that took me a long time to actually do! The section described here, from Mexican Hat to Clay Hills, is a 57-mile float through an astonishingly deep and dramatic canyon in remote terrain This is one of the finest floats in Utah and very family-friendly provided you have the skills From a geology and scenery perspective, I liked this more than the section above, Sand Island to Mexican Hat This section is typica...

Home of the Perfect Kiva Ruin and Jailhouse Ruins, Bullet Canyon is one of the must visit side canyons of Grand Gulch This is an astounding area dotted with ruins and high canyon walls Bullet can be visited as a down and back day hike, but is long 14 miles round trip to the Grand Gulch junction and back, and is better done as a loop up Sheiks Canyon Just visiting Perfect Kiva and Jailhouse is about 10 miles round trip, while the loop returning via Sheiks is only a few...

Mount Irish is one of the rock art areas that Lincoln County and the BLM both publish information on Tucked up near the 8,743 ft high Mt Irish, the site is among boulder outcroppings and washes It is a large site If you are interested in rock art, it is easy to spend a day or even more wandering around looking for rock art in the boulders On my visit, I felt like I had just scratched the surface, yet still saw many fantastic glyphs and panels Pay attention to the road directions For a BLM promoted site, the route t...
