Solitude … till Saturday

Stopped at Kanab BLM office for beta. House Rock Valley Road has eight numbered dispersed sites. We took a look at all of them and ended up at the last one, #8, up a spur road just past the cattle guard around 4.3 miles off the highway. Tucked back toward the valley wall there was less wind and more privacy … until Saturday morning when petroglyph hunters traipse through camp because the trail starts just beyond your fire pit.

Buckskin

Great little turnout just a few minutes from Buckskin Gulch. Beautiful spot tucked in along the red rock walls. Quite quiet…not much traffic through the night or day.

Awesome climbing/hiking

What a unique place this was.

We were able to find a climbing area and hiking all within a mile from each other.

The trailhead is one option to sleep, but we stayed just 0.3 miles prior at a turnout because it was a bit too sandy for our van to get through. (Photo of that small segment) sure, maybe a small patch, but we were just stuck in a similar spot the day prior.

It is $6 per vehicle for the hike and $6 per dog.

Still, we did end up doing the hike. It is a 21 mile segment that has awesome, narrow slot canyons. The canyons are a bit far, so we had to head back and get our pups some water. Apparently the wash has water through it most often, so bring water shoes for this one.

Photos are the climbing in Buckskin as well as some of the hike.
