The Hole-in-the-Rock road is an historic pioneer trail turned path to adventure. This 62 mile (100 km) one-way section runs from Escalante, UT to the western edge of Lake Powell. This road is rough, impassable in inclement weather, and 4WD only for the last 7 miles. Along the way are quite a few trailheads for the Coyote Gulch and other Escalante River trails in Glen Canyon.
View DetailsOpen year-round but most popular in Spring and Fall, Coyote Gulch is a tributary of the Escalante River with several entry points for day hiking or backpacking in the Escalante Canyons of Glen Canyon National recreation Area and Grand Staircase National Monument. This is a wilderness area, prepare to pack out everything you bring in.
