Hey all, just thought I would post up a trip that a few of my friends and I are planning.
Day One: Get down south
Day Two: Right now, the plan is to start out near the Needles District of Canyonlands and travel up Cottonwood Canyon and into Beef Basin. Go and check out the ruins that we can spot. Dark Canyon has been mentioned, but since it's not on my maps on how to access it from there, I've not added it yet. We'll probably be camping somewhere in this area, so if you've idea's on where, post up.
Day Three: From Beef Basin, we'll travel through Ruin Park to Bobby's Hole and up to Chesler Park. I've been to Chesler numerous times, since my parents used to take us down south all the time as kids. Plan as it stands is to go hike the Joint Trail and explore around a bit. My family has nicknamed some of that area Fat Man's misery, and if you've been there, you know why The rest of the day is still up in the air. Possibly go out to the Confluence Overlook? I wouldn't mind driving down Cyclone Canyon and possibly hiking Red's Canyon. We'll either camp somewhere around there or drive out through Elephant Hill and possibly camp on Lockhart Basin road.
Day Four: Start driving up Lockhart Basin. I'm not sure of what there really is to explore on this trail, as it's been 15 years since I've been on it. We've discussed camping at the end of Lockhart Canyon, near the Colorado. Other than that, if you've idea's of what to do, post up.
Day Five: Drive into Moab and gas up and head home
So, I've read a few threads about the area, and if you've got ideas or GPS points for interesting stops, ruins, pictographs, anything, send them over.
And, Kurt, post up anything you want to add too!
