Arch Nemesis Canyon Highlight | Capitol Reef NP Utah
We took the opportunity this past summer to camp out in and run through a couple of the slot canyons located in Capitol Reef National Park. The day was hot and muggy and the bugs were out, but the canyons were fun. In this highlight reel of Arch Nemesis canyon, it shows a bit of the fun that we had that day. We were able to knock out this canyon in the morning and then head over and do Na-Gah canyon in the afternoon. If you have a few hours to knock out in the Capitol Reef area and wanna see a great canyon, both of these were wonderful, however they do take some route finding ability. We state in this video that we got lost, we really didn't get lost so much as turned around and the route information that we were following really wasn't as clear as we were hoping, but the canyon was worth it and it was a really great time. Hope you enjoy this video.

Escalante Petrified Forest State Park Utah

Na Gah Slot Canyon | Capitol Reef NP Utah
Na Gah Canyon - Weird Name, Great Canyon. This was a fun afternoon romp through a great little canyon. Took us only a few hrs to knock out. It is a bit of a walk around to get into this canyon, but not bad. There was an accident earlier this year on the hike in route where rain storms loosened rock and dirt and dislodged a large boulder as a group was traversing over it. This resulted in a SAR call and medical emergency, but the one victim that was injured was/will be OK.
There are three mandatory rappels in this canyon. All bolted as is almost standard protocol in the National Parks. Capitol Reef isn't getting as much pressure as many of the other National Parks like Arches and Zion, but it is starting to pick up. We opted for a fun Non-Mandatory rappel off a tree in order to avoid a ledge walk around. This also added a little more to the canyon.
The big final rappel in this canyon is epic and spectacular. It's a gorgeous drop approx. 150 ft. to the canyon wash floor at the bottom. Absolutely stunning. If ya need to knock off a few hours in the area, I'd highly recommend this canyon. Actually - go do Cassidy Arch Canyon along with the three hundred other people that are going to do it that day - Hahahaha

Calf Creek Falls | Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument 4K
#grandstaircaseescalante #grandstaircasehikes #calfcreek
The trail to Calf Creek Falls may be the most popular hike in Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. It's a stunning trek through stunning desert canyons capped by one of the prettiest waterfalls we've encountered.
Along with Bears Ears, Grand Staircase-Escalante may be the most contested swath of public land in the United States.
With recent reductions and the desire of many for a full restoration of the original monument boundaries being hotly debated it's never been more important to Leave No Trace.
The ultimate fate of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is uncertain. With limited resources to protect the land, it is essential for all visitors to do their best to leave this desert wonderland as pristine as possible.
What are your thoughts? Should the reductions stand or should Utah's monuments be restored? Leave a comment below.
Trailhead: Calf Creek Campground parking area
Difficulty: Moderate
Distance: 6 miles
Elevation gain: 520 ft

Escalante 2, Backpacking Utah, Hiking Coyote Gulch, Climbing scary Jacob Hamblin A w My Own Frontier
Escalante 2, Backpacking Utah, Hiking Coyote Gulch, Climbing scary Jacob Hamblin Arch with My Own Frontier, A Canyon Country High Route, The Scary and dangerous Stuff in 4K
This is the second of two videos from an 8 day backpacking and canyoneering loop in the Escalante area October 2019. Me and my buddy Joey Coconato of My Own Frontier complete Steve Allens Escalante South route over a period of 8 very dry days, there has been no rain in the area for over 100 days. We follow the challenging route from Crack in the Wall, through Coyote Gulch, crossing the Escalante River, heading up Stevens Canyon and up the Baker trail to the top of the Waterpocket Fold. From there we head to Cliff Point for some amazing 360 views of Canyon Country, we could see Monument valley and Navajo Mountain in the south, Boulder Mountain and Powell Point to the north, Henry Mountains, Bears Ears, Lake Powell and even the La Sal Mountains to the east. This second video starts with a beautiful but windy sunrise at Cliff Point, and then we get into The Scary Stuff, canyon hopping, climbing and traversing part of the trip from Cliff to Georges Camp Canyon, down the very scary bighorn sheep trails and across the Escalante to Ezra Mc Bench, Fools Canyon, Kings Bench and back to Coyote Gulch for the climb out by Jacob Hamblin Arch and the end of the trip. We found water, but did we fall off a cliff on the bighorn sheep trail, any of the class 4 and 5 climbs, or up the Jacob Hamblin Arch?

Here's the shot I got:
Late May 2011 hike into Zebra and Tunnel Canyons, two very unique and interesting slots canyons in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. If you're headed out there, bring a map and a compass or someone who's been there before because it's easy to get lost!

Lower Calf Creek Falls - Scenic Byway 12 - Utah - LeAw in the USA //Ep.39
We are living the American dream driving the Historic Route 66 from Chicago to Santa Monica but we are doing some detours to visit some places we like.
In this 39th episode, we hit the road again. Lucky LeAw, our old vintage 1990 Ford F-250 4x4 truck camper, is fixed.
We visit Calf Creek Falls and drive all Scenic Byway 12 Route. Enjoy the ride with us! ;)
Calf Creek Falls is a perennial waterfall in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument in Utah that totals 214 feet (65 m). The lower tier is a 126-foot (38 m) cascade and is very popular, because it can be reached by an easy hike on a 5½ mile roundtrip trail. The upper tier is a 88-foot (27 m) plunge and is much less known, as it requires a 1-mile (1.6 km) scramble past the lower falls.
Named for its use as a natural pen for calves back in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s, the creek remained relatively unknown as a tourist destination until the formation of the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, under the Clinton administration. Walking between mineral-streaked cliffs of Navajo Sandstone, hikers pass beaver ponds and pre-historic rock art sites en route to the paradisiacal pools.
The trailhead is located at the Calf Creek Campground on Highway 12, 11 miles south of the town of Boulder, and 15 miles east of the town of Escalante. The highway follows the route of the creek for most of the distance, atop the bluff to the east of the canyon.
Calf Creek Campground: Located at the campground in the Calf Creek Recreational Area, there is a parking fee for the parking lot, and a camping fee in order to stay overnight. The trail sets off to the north, away from the campground. Though mostly level, the trail frequently crosses vast sandy tracts that can make it difficult for some to navigate. About a mile and a half up the canyon, on the east wall quite high up rest two Fremont granaries and a group of pictograph panels, dated to approximately AD 1200.
State Route 12 or Scenic Byway 12 (SR-12), also known as Highway 12 — A Journey Through Time Scenic Byway, is a state highway designated an All-American Road located in Garfield County and Wayne County, Utah, United States.
Proceeding west to east for 122 miles (nearly 200 km), the highway starts south of Panguitch at an intersection with US-89, crosses part of Dixie National Forest and Bryce Canyon National Park, continues through the small towns of Tropic, Cannonville, and Henrieville. It crosses various parts of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument (GS-ENM), continues northeast through Escalante and over the Escalante River, then north through more of GS-ENM, Boulder, the Aquarius Plateau, Grover, ending in Torrey at an intersection with SR-24, five miles (8 km) west of Capitol Reef National Park. The 30-mile (48 km) long portion of the highway that ascends and descends Boulder Mountain on the Aquarius Plateau is known as Boulder Mountain Highway.

Coyote Gulch As a Day Hike - Southern Utah Adventure - Glen Canyon, Utah
We had an epic day hike through Crack in the Wall down to Coyote Gulch in Glen Canyon, Utah. The 16 miles round trip were beautiful but tiring. I would recommend camping in the gulch and spending more time to enjoy the natural beauty of Glen Canyon. We didn't see any coyotes in the gulch, but I did hear some later that night at our campsite up near the trailhead.

Packrafting Utah | Spring 2019
See more:
Utah’s desert rivers are notoriously fickle, and conditions have to be just right for boatable flows. And the window is usually incredibly short.
But that’s exactly what made spring of 2019 so special. The rivers ran, and ran for months, because of a variety of unusual conditions. Snowpack in Utah was late to start building, but by February storms were massive and frequent, especially in the southern half of the state. Some drainages reported over 180% of average snow water equivalent. Combined with an abnormally cold and wet April and May that kept hard freezing at elevation and the snowpack would feed the ephemeral desert Utah rivers all the way through June. We got our first river in March on the backend of a pretty big spring storm, and paddled all the way through summer solstice and more.
I’ve owned a packraft now for a decade, and I can never remember a spring season like this.
