Further Plans for Coyote Gulch

Having decided the the Jacob Hamblin Arch entrance to lower Coyote Gulch is perhaps "Kerkable", I have been turning my attention to other sites in the area.

Right now the plan is to hike in on Tuesday afternoon and camp somewhere close to the entrance under an overhanging cliff, if possible. On Wednesday (the day that looks most likely to be wet according to the forecasts today) we will hike downstream to the Escalante and Stevens Arch and back. On Thursday we will sightsee upstream in the morning and then hike out around noon or so. We'll drive back north and stop to see four scenic gulches in upper Coyote Gulch. We will either camp near the truck, or perhaps near one of the gulches. We'll walk through them on Thursay afternoon and Friday morning before heading back home

Here are descriptions of each of them:
