Trip Informations
Take on one of the most popular hiking routes in Utah – the Coyote Gulch in the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area. This trekking trip is a true digital detox, as you’ll walk through sandstone structures that give you a glimpse of the land’s past by day and camp under a blanket of stars by night. Walk through Navajo sandstone walls that lead to cottonwood groves, cross flowing creeks to intimate waterfalls and explore Native American ruins of ages past, left by the Fremont people – the original dwellers of this land. Feast every night on backcountry meals after full-day hikes that give you the opportunity to see what Glen Canyon was like before being flooded by Lake Powell. Traverse underneath amazing arches, over a natural bridge and end with a memorable ascent out of the canyon.

You must be able to fit through a 18 inch (45 cm) ‘crack in the wall’ on the final day of this tour. To test whether you can fit through, we recommend opening a door to 18 in (45 cm), turning sideways and shuffling through the opening. You must also be able to safely navigate a tight corridor that involves a climb up and over a rock shelf and manoeuvre your body weight in this condensed environment.
