Grand Staircase Utah, June 28

So every summer I do a multi-nighter somewhere... like last summer, it was the Elk Mountains, CO. On June 28, me and a couple others are heading up to southern Utah from PHX to explore the Grand Staircase Nat. Mon. area for 4 nights, returning July 2. This is a fun run with great views and neat points of interests, including a half dozen short hikes (1-4 miles roundtrip). There will be 4x4, but nothing technical. Another vehicle or two are welcome.

 

Do you guys plan on camping for the trip?

 

I'm going to see if I can get the days off I would love to go

 

Yeah, we're camping in a different spot every night because were covering some ground. I like to be light and mobile on trips like this so I can pack and unpack camp quickly and easily.

The basic route is sort of a loop starting north in Cottonwood Canyon, curving west, then back south through Johnson Canyon. Elevations from 4500 - 6500 feet.

Go for it Quintin!

 

Excellent trip... no mech issues other than one broken rear shock mount on a vehicle.

REPORT IS HERE

 

Glad to hear you guys made it back.
