A few weeks ago, Sean, Jackson, and Bode went on a backpacking trip to Coyote Gulch with Dave and his boys. Coyote Gulch is located in the Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. They came home with some amazing pictures and said they had such an awesome time!
After driving 40 miles down a washboard road, they camped near the trailhead late at night. The following morning they hiked 10+ miles to Jacob Hamblin Arch, entering Coyote Gulch via "the crack." In the gulch you hike along the river the entire way. The boys chose to walk in the river almost the entire time, while Sean was proud of the fact his socks stayed dry. They camped at Jacob Hamblin Arch that night and had an awesome camping spot all to themselves. The following morning they hiked the "sneaker route" back to the car, which required using ropes to exit the canyon.
After making it back to the car, they hiked to a few cool, and very narrow slot canyons. They did "Spooky" and "Peek-a-boo." In the Spooky slot canyon, it gets super narrow-- only 10 inches wide in one spot.
They all came home with lots of stories to tell and talked about how beautiful it was. They had such a great time! I'm grateful they were able to have this fun experience together.
