Las Vegas for exploration

[offroader]

Let me know if you need information on Utah, especially hiking/camping. Mig mentioned Angels landing, I think the best 1/2 day hike in Zions, then emerald pools (upper pool if you have time) then weeping rock and finally at the end of the road is the Riverside walk that gets you to the beginning of the Narrows.

If you need information of areas more North/East let me know, Canyonlands, Arches, Goblin Valley, Bryce, Capitol Reef. If you ever want to do a 4 day loop I could give you some good information on the best trails to hike (that I know of) Mostly doable slot canyons.

You could do a loop Vegas to Zion to Bryce then out of Bryce you can visit Kodachrome basin (not great) then outside of Escalante there are peek a boo and spooky slot canyons (google them) and lower calf creek falls. then head to Capitol Reef then to Goblin Valley. Then head south to Natural Bridges National Monument then to Monument Valley. Then you start heading back through Page Arizona, outside of Page you can do a day hike into Buckskin Gulch as you head back through Zion and then back to Vegas.

It would be a lot of driving and a lot of hiking and 4 full days would be pushing it.
You could do Zion one day, then Bryce the next. Then on another trip fly into Salt Lake City to hit Canyonlands and Arches.

*Waving my hand* “we‘re“ (and yes that “we” does include the brigade) are looking at the doing the Grand Circle. I want to know about cell service. The brigade has AT&T - which last time meant no service in southern Utah.
Fortunately I had Verizon, just wondering if they’ll be borrowing my phone again.


BTW, Daniel Boone & son are looking at hiking “subway” - yup, they’ll certifiable.
