Coyote Gulch Backpacking Trip
I had my doubts about the need to travel 7 hours just to have a good backpacking trip with the young men in the ward. All my doubts disappeared once we got there. As you can see from the pictures… GORGIOUS!
Too get into the gulch we had to drop our packs over a ledge with rope and then squeeze through a narrow crack down into the valley. I’d show you a picture but we did it in the dark!
On our first night I upset a swarm of bees or hornets (once again it was too dark to be sure) but otherwise we came out of it without any real hiccups. The hike is mostly through a stream of water with occassional sand trails on the bank. We saw 4 different arches and some indian ruins. A once in a lifetime experience that I’m hoping to duplicate with my family.

Hi, My husband and I are thinking about hiking with our two young children into Coyote Gulch this summer. Do you know if the heat and deer flies are so terrible as to make this hike a bad experience in the summer?
