Hi, Ryan: Is it possible, after reaching Horse Canyon, to go north on Horse Canyon Rd first and then follow Wolverine Creek north to visit the Petrified Woods and exit Wolverine Petrified Wood Natural Area parking

Road condition was totally fine 9/7 and we thought this was super worth the visitFor getting in the giant pothole, half our group did and half didn’t Those who did agreed that most of the experience is looking at it anyway and not to stress if you don’t walk in But going down the steps seemed much scarier than coming back up would be

Agreed! We picked up a bunch of litter and glow sticks on our visit as well!

May 26-27, 2025 - Party of 2 backpacked into Gravel near the head of the main fork and joined this route at the confluence with the east fork, skipping the first paragraph of Ryan's route betaCONSIDERATIONS ON BACKPACKING THE ROUTE:On the first day, we bypassed the rappels and the slot narrows on the right, walking a slick rock middle rim above the narrows This required a bit of hard route-finding and 3rd class moves that were just a little too exposed and off balance to do with heavy backpacking packs We had to pa...

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...

Very easy access, so worth a quick visit if passing through But the panels and glyphs here are nowhere near as impressive as those at other nearby sites, such as Mt Irish, Shooting Gallery, White Rive Narrows and Delamar Dry Lake

I only visited the panel, which is easy enough to visit if you're in the area and have already checked out the excellent sites in White River Narrows

#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...

I find the Great Salt Lake a fascinating place The scenery and uniqueness of the lake are interesting, but the history and stories of the people who have tried to live and make a life there I find even more fascinating Fremont Island is one of those places on the lake that is steeped in history I had wanted to visit for several years, but visiting requires quite an effort At about 18 miles round-trip from Antelope Island and across the sandbar just to REACH the island, this is an outing for experienced outdoors peo...

The Wave is one of the most iconic and difficult places to visit in Utah It is difficult not so much because of the terrain or hike length, but because of how hard it is to get a permit! It took me about 45 tries in the lottery, 85% of those in the advanced lottery, and 15% or so in the shorter-term daily lottery, to finally win a permit This was spread out over years as I would enter for a while, get frustrated and take a break, then inevitably start trying again The Wave is a small section of the larger Coyote Bu...
