Incredible. Lots of exposure to the sun. Take plenty of water. Beautiful falls. Take your swim suit.

SUPER FUN and totally worth it!!! There weren’t many people but we started at 8am during the week. very glad we brought sturdy hiking boots instead of our chacos. we took our boots off and carried them when we hiked through the water. also glad we left our backpack in the beginning of the canyon.

Amazing 4x4 OHV Trail. One of the most insane trails I’ve seen to date. My only warnings are to make sure you have water and food for a day or two just Incase you get stuck in a downpour or break down it is extremely remote. The dirt when wet turns to clay and even a modded Jeep Wrangler with 4x4 capability will seize there axels. You’d have to wait the rain out and let things dry up. Overall, just be safe and you’ll be amazed by the scenery.

I hiked this loop in the beginning of December and it was so pretty and also completely empty. I was the only person on the trail and pretty much had the canyons to myself. Totally unreal and beautiful. Not that difficult of a hike though, only took a a couple hours. Definitely recommend!!

Although the hike on the road isn’t exciting, there are some good views along the way. But once we reached the destination, this was such a unique feature that I had to give it 5 stars. This was so different than anything we had ever seen before and we spent a long time just sitting and staring at it. The sand inside looked very fine and appeared to have a different color than the sand in other areas nearby. Amazing!

Sandy cow and river willow trail. Aug 30, hot and very little water, mostly contaminated with cow poo. Easier to walk in dry river bed than designated trail. Typical rocks of the area have seen better canyons in the area. Did see a few large petrified wood pieces in the dry river bed. Trail ends at nothing in particular. Blah, there are much better hikes to do in the Grand Escalante than this one.

Beautiful hike with 3 knee deep river crossings and some very challenging navigation at the end to actually get up the butte to reach the arch. The "trail" on GAIA is only a generic route, it will not direct you to the only way up the butte. My track shows how we searched and finally found the one way to ascend the butte.
