Coyote Gulch and Bogley Tshirt!

[mattandersao]

After years of jealously reading trip reports and seeing the pictures of Coyote Gulch (C.G.) I finally was able to scratch it off my list of must do’s, now I only have an ever growing list of dozens, if not hundreds of other places!






After several amigos cancelled on me I decided to venture into C.G. alone but I was not discouraged as I was also able to finally wear my newly won BOGLEY TSHIRT! After winning the TSHIRT in the March Trip Report Contest I was pretty excited. Especially when received it, I mean it was a cool TSHIRT, maybe not the coolest one (my coolest is an Abraham Lincoln one) but surely the Bogley one is in the top 5! Not only was the shirt cool but upon starting the hike I also discovered it had almost magical powers. I flew through Hurricane Wash hiking faster than I had ever hiked especially considering my heavy backpack. Not only was I faster but also my legs seemed stronger and blisters when they appeared were painless! The magical powers of the Bogley TSHIRT also affected other people in C.G. who saw me. Im not exactly sure how to spell this but I think it is (If this will get the T.R. banished to the basement let me know and I will remove the next word) Ménage -trios . Ok but seriously lets just say that women wanted me and men wanted to be me!



Unfortunately the Bogley TSHIRT was so powerful that it also negatively affected any equipment that wasn’t part of me. The muffler of my car was the first casualty and fell off on the road, fortunately near the Hurricane Wash Trailhead (I was planning on doing the crack in the wall route…) Next my tripod broke while taking my first picture even the cause of my newfound strength, sex appeal, and curse of broken equipment, the shirt itself, fell victim to its own power and I ripped two small holes in it!





There aren't many places left in the world where the stress and chaos of everyday life can be replaced with sheer wonderment and awe. Coyote Gulch is one of these magical places. Upon entering the Gulch no longer was I concerned with my broken Jeep, or if the muffler would remain wired to the frame for long drive home. Rather than worry about the inequalities of life, wars being fought, or even, in my case, tests left at school yet to be graded the pure beauty of Coyote Gulch quickly and quietly calmed my thoughts. What an amazing place!




"say that I starved, that I was lost and weary
that I was burned and blinded by the desert sun
footsore, thirsty, sick with strange diseases,
lonely and wet and cold, but that I kept my dream!"

Sweet pictures! It sounds like you're attempting to get another bogley t-shirt in the May contest.

So what no pictures of this amazing Bogley t-shirt?? You go on and on about it and not one picture. Funny report.

I will post some later! Remember I was by myself and my tripod broke so my "self" pics arent too great! Plus I think the shirt, while cool, adds about 10 lbs!

Hi all,
I'm heading on Tuesday to do Coyote Gulch in Escalante with two friends. Will be backpacking for 3 days/2nights. We only have one car, so we are planning to go out and back the same route. My question is, what is the best entry? Red Well, or Hurricane Wash? I've heard Red Well is more scenic. But not sure. We are worried that Crack in the Wall may be too difficult to find/deal with, etc...Thoughts?
Also, do I need 'river shoes' for the hike or can I just use a pair of old sneakers and call it a day?
Thanks for the help,
Tony George

Hurricane Wash was OK...I mean it is boring but its a hike in the desert there is always something to see! A pair of old sneakers would work, personally I wish that I had something dry to wear around camp. I guess barefoot always works for that though.

Because I want to win Mays trip report contest I need a lot of comments! It never said the comments have to be about my trip report. So if I
1. Ask to ban JP 2. Post some hot picture of Tonya 3. Say the moderators dont moderate 4. Call Zion, ZionS, 5. Say anything nice about President Obama 6. Whine about teacher pay 7. Talk about doing canyons helmet less 8. Get trapped in the Subway 9. Blame the park service for any bear fatalities 10. Blame parents for any bear fatalities 11. Make fun of Ron Paul 12. Pretend my user name is IntrepidXJ or ibenick and post a b*tchin TR about the maze 13..........

I should theoretically generate enough conversation to win eh?

Incredibly comprehensive list. Sounds like a winner to me!

[mattandersao]

I probably should add anything about the Zion permit system or poaching canyons!

[uintahiker]

Elaborating on the virtues of bolting virgin canyons will also help you win.

[uintahiker]

I'm waiting for the TR where you and Tanya set out to descend a canyon in ZionS, but since the permit system didn't work for you you decided to poach a canyon.. helmetless. And bolt it. While wearing Bogley shirts. After you get trapped in the Subway, a 11 year old kid will try to rescue you, but get killed by a bear in the process because his teacher didn't get paid enough, and because the bear was trying to rescue you first because you're wearing the bogley shirts. Then Tanya will have to take hers off (of course she's wearing a backup one underneath "just in case") where it miraculously brings the kid back to life. In the press conference called once you make it out you can criticize Ron Paul for saying something nice about Obama. You also criticize the boy's parents for letting their 11 year old do what he did. You can also thank PETA for supporting the bears because Animals are people too. Then show us the award your recieved from SUWA for destroying all that is good about Utah.

In the meantime IntrepidXJ will post detailed beta about getting to the Dollhouse Ruin and you'll still fall short.
