Moab Dragon Fly climb out.

[moab mark]

Has anyone tried to ascend out of dragon fly after the last rappel? I heard from a buddy that he heard people were doing it. After doing that hike several times its a little long going out to courthouse wash.
Plus back to the car.

I haven't found an exit out of Dragonfly's lower canyon. Once in Courthouse Wash, however, you can exit the first drainage west of Dragonfly and hike that back to the gravel carpark at milepost 6. This little drainage is only about a quarter mile west of the mouth of Dragonfly. This shortcuts quite a bit of the Wash/Road walk.

Added bonuses of returning via the little drainage are that you don't have to walk on the road at all (which increases your safety, your wilderness experience and reduces your visual impact to the windshield tourists), you aren't getting chomped by deerflies and the little drainage takes you right to your car at the milepost 6 gravel carpark entirely on slickrock and washes.

Thanks Matt, I looked at it on google earth makes sense. On another hike, have you ever done anything from the hidden valley trail thru to prictchett?
