| no partners | | | A remote trail once you enter the wash, with a warning sign if you travel counter clockwise. You will encounter some scrambling on polished rock with small holds, friction climbing. It’s i think the most remote trail in the park. I went for 3 hours without seeing another person. It’s a very scenic trail with some great views over desolate country. There is a old earthen dam at about 1-1/4 miles along the 2 mile wash. I stopped there for 45 minutes for lunch and to just take in the view. This trail is for experienced hikers only because of the remoteness and that your cell phone may cease to work in the area in the wash and past it, (Verizon). The trail starts off easy then after a few miles you come to a warning sign. Your speed will slow considerably once you pass that sign and enter the wash in 1/2 mile. Take at least one gallon of water and lots of high energy snacks, and extra clothing and emergency gear like a good whistle and a first aid kit. Don’t try this from the end of April to the end of September. In 2015, three fit men in their early twenties did in the summer. One of them died from exhaustion and heat stroke. Once you enter the wash and exit it your 5 miles ether way to exit over huge boulders or steep switchbacks with no shade and temperatures over 100 degrees. This hike should not be done with temperatures above the mid eighties for very fit to seventies for the average hiker. I cannot stress this enough with my background and being a EMT. If you start getting heat exhaustion and your beyond cell phone coverage your in real danger. Please heed this advice. |
