Looking to do a 5-8 day backpack in the Robbers Roost/ Dirty Devil area this fall, does anyone have recommendations? Some canyoneering sections would be welcome but not necessary, just looking to string together a longer trip to explore the region better. Any tips or trip ideas would be appreciated!

The only 5-8 day trip I can think of that wouldn't end up crossing a bunch of roads in Robbers Roost Canyon itself. You could spend a week in that one.

We ride that area in March and April on the horses. usually camp at eth Grainery Springs and ride over to the Old Outlaw Camp where the Wild Bunch spent the winter of 1896 and follow Horseshoe canyon around for a 22 mile ride. The next day we ride up to Cowboy Cave and the 3rd day we wander over to the Blue Princess. Each of these are 18-22 miles long leaving from the same base camp at the Grainery

What is the Blue Princess? A pictograph? I know the Roost pretty well, and know the rest of the places you mention, but I have never heard of the Blue Princess.
