EP 206: 3 Days in Coyote Gulch + Footwear Experiment

Are you planning a bucket-list trip to Coyote Gulch, Utah? In this episode, the team breaks down everything you need to know for a successful backpacking adventure in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. We dive deep into the ultimate footwear debate: Can you really backpack 25+ miles in sandals, or are trail runners the only way to go?

What you'll learn in this video:

Logistics & Permits: Why you don't need a permit but MUST bring wag bags.

The Approach: How to navigate the brutal Hole in the Rock Road to reach the Hurricane Wash trailhead.

Iconic Landmarks: Detailed looks at Jacob Hamlin Arch, Coyote Natural Land Bridge, and Steven's Arch.

Gear Testing: Real-world results of using Leukotape for blisters in wet environments and the pros/cons of cotton vs. polyester sun hoodies.

Canyon Safety: Why you should always check water depth before cliff jumping and how to handle desert "critters" like scorpions and spiders.

Whether you're a seasoned ultralight backpacker or planning your first desert trek near Escalante, these insights will help you avoid painful blisters and maximize your time in one of Utah's most beautiful canyons.
