This was part of a long month of hikes, etc in Utah May 07. Clearing out some pics on my computer and found some from that trip. It was a very nice overnighter, could be done as a long dayhike, over slickrock and fantasy land of Death Hollow. If you've driven Hwy 12 in Utah from Escalante and Boulder and been on the "hogsback" the view of the mounds of white slickrock is amazing. This is the terrain I covered.
I was dropped off in light snow and cold, my vehicle at the other end of the trail. This trek follows the old route of the mail travelers and the old telephone land line between Escalante and Boulder. And a lonely, lovely country it is. Water can be sketchy except at Death Hollow but I found potholes with clean water no problem. Follow the cairns closely, as it is easy to get cliffed out in this sandstone heaven.
This is a nice hike I highly recommend when in this area of Utah, a different perspective than the canyons of the Escalante.
