5-Nights Utah Escalante & Coyote Gulch Hiking

Get off the beaten track to experience some of southern Utah's hidden gems. Hike amid sculpted sandstone arches, river-carved canyons, slickrock domes, and bizarre hoodoos on quiet trails. Trek beneath the soaring red rock spires of Fisher Towers outside Moab, cross Canyonlands National Park's Island in the Sky mesa, and fly over the park's vast canyon country wilderness to hike in Capitol Reef National Park. Follow the still-remote historic Boulder Mail Trail across sandstone domes once traveled by pack-horse mail carriers and descend into spectacular Grand Staircase-Escalante's Coyote Gulch to walk along—and in—the sandy creek bed where red sandstone cliffs soar and golden Jacob Hablin Arch towers.

Highlights:

• Hike some of Utah's most remote and stunning regions including legendary Coyote Gulch
• Experience Canyonlands National Park on foot and by air, touching down at Capitol Reef
• Spend nights in boutique wilderness lodgings and enjoy delicious, farm-to-table meals

Important Trip Details:
You should be capable of hiking up to 12 miles (up to 7 hours) while carrying a daypack. Hiking is both on- and off-trail; terrain includes dirt and sand trails, open sandstone slickrock, and some steep inclines/declines. Light scrambling (using your hands for balance and support while climbing over uneven rock or navigating short, steep sections of trail) may be required in a few sections.

Minimum Age: 18
