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...

The Green River Daily, similar to the Moab Daily, provides a great, beginner friendly river run The river is Class II+ in normal flows, but can be tricky in higher flows >8500 cfs If floating during higher flows, Class III skills are recommended This is a popular area, both for rafters, as well as locals Just up stream from the take-out, Swasey Boat Ramp, offers a great sandy beach for relaxing on, and good camping This is also a good training ground for canoeists wanting to up their whitewater skills a bit The sec...

Did this canyon on 4/6/13 Used the short-cut access to the south prong of the canyon Found shallow water in 3 places & was able to avoid by stemming At one, we tossed in a rock to provide footing for one step across Pothole before the last rap was dry so meat-anchored in & clambered out Final rap station was rigged on right side LDC with a bolt and 11 mm rope with a link on the end hanging over the edge Also a loop installed on same rope further back from the edge On left side of canyon was a long piece of blue web...

Completed 4/21/13 Would not call this "family-friendly" This is a good introduction to vary narrow canyons Even skinny people will not be able to pass through on the floor of some sections Take a minimal pack No rappeling required so no rope or harness but 40 ft webbing to assist with climbing back up if going to the big drop Found water in numerous spots up to shin deep Most were avoidable but not all The climb back up from the end is quite physical, but extended stemming further back up canyon is also There are ...

I am 6'1" & 200 lbs I was able to fit through Egypt 3 with a little squeezing at points I want to complete the middle fork & was curious if anyone has any thoughts A couple years ago I did the right fork, and we hiked up the left fork about 200 feet before turning around, not due to being skinny, but it was loaded with spiders Massive daddy long legs in swarms all over the walls We cried like little girls while pushing & shoving each other out of the way Also if I did due the middle fork is there a way to exit if t...

It is a maze out there! The directions go to the Tomsich the put-in first because I think it tends to be easier navigation wise and most groups I've talked to drop all boats and gear off, and have part of the group set up the shuttle while boats are inflated, etc I added GPS points to the driving directions to hopefully make it easier in the future Great float, glad you got to do it when there was decent flow I've floated it at just over 200 in a canoe Stunning!
