    Note the second date change: I have additional travel coming up the third week of November and can't be gone that much. So I was able to change the backcountry site to the night of Dec. 23, and the car camp site to the night of Dec. 20. The two nights in between don't require a reservation.

    Llama packer BJ Orozco has agreed to do a spring 2025 llama trip after all, which is good news to us canyon adventurers. The trip will be a fully catered 9-night outing, leaving from a trailhead off the Hole-in-the-Rock road. Our first and last night’s camps will be at or near Gates Tanks, a perennial waterhole to the south of Fool’s Canyon. From that jumping-off point, we will hike to the far reaches of Les George Point, a location farther into the Escalante than we have camped before.

Theme by Danetsoft and Danang Probo Sayekti inspired by Maksimer
