Backpacking | 17.1 miles
This was a 2 day, 1 night backpacking trip, for myself and two friends. Our packs probably weighed around 40 lbs with all the water we were carrying. This trip was through Taylor Canyon. We started at Alcove Springs, and took that into the canyon. Then we followed the wash and a 4x4 road. Following the road, we took Upheavil canyon back up. Then we took...

I did this day trip after we backpacked to the SQ2 campsite. I dropped all me gear, setup camp, and took off for the Lost Canyon. My friends were too tired to join me, so I did this adventure solo. The trail starts out having to climb up and into lost canyon. This gives you a spectacular view of lost canyon, and the Needles section of Canyonlands. From this...

Another great loop after a night of snow! We realize these canyons are all so different, the hikes will never get repetitive.

Canyonlands has stunning scenery. We camped next to a wall hundreds of feet tall and the nearest campground was a mile away. Visiting the west side of the park in late summer meant bringing our own water but it was worth the work.
