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!

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...

How did someone give this only 3 stars!! Views, SOLITUDE away from the hordes of people down the road Had the place to myself on a Saturday! Gnarled old trees everywhere providing many interesting foreground and background interest for photos Beautiful red rock walls and formations Painted hills reminding me of the Bentonite Hills Well worth the visit!

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...

A very popular family hike, Grand Wash offers a family friendly outing in a short package The round trip distance is 44 miles, or if you have two cars, it can be done as a one way 22 mile through hike For those wanting something shorter, I would recommend parking at the bottom trailhead on Highway 24 and walking up from the bottom This visits the best narrow section of Grand Wash in a casual 20-30 minutes one way from the trailhead For those wanting something longer, see the [my:linkToObject type="trip" id="543" te...

  March 05, 2014 Unfortunately, Arches now requires permits for canyoneering. Fortunately (for now), they are free and with minimal hassle. I just recieved the follow from the NPS: Officially starting Friday March 7, free day use permits, required for canyoneering in Arches, will be available outside the visitor center at an information/permit kiosk. With the exception of canyoneering in the Fiery Furnace, all canyoneers must fill out a permit, drop the copy of...
