Thanks! I'm getting my maps out. :-)

Hmmm.. Priorities. Can I pick most of them?
Top three would probably be scenery, water availability, and lack of crowds.
A loop would be nice, but we can probably figure out a shuttle if it's not...

These are trips we have already done:
Grand Canyon - Escalante Route
Grand Canyon - Thunder River/Surprise Valley/Deer Creek
Buckskin Gulch - Wire Pass to Lee's Ferry
Coyote Gulch
Canyonlands -...

I'm looking for suggestions for a 35-45 mile backpacking trip somewhere on the Plateau in October (lower elevation). Dark Canyon? Escalante? The Maze?

Good times yo, good times!!

I know this is replying to an OLD post so sorry for that, but I haven't browsed here before and am playing some catch-up for this weekend's events.

I'm in Moab and would be interested in this...

Thanks! I figure, it might be a while until I can get out after the little one shows up, so I better take advantage now!

Hubby and I would like to join in. We live in Moab and can stake out some campsites for the campers if we can find out how many they need.
