    SUE2: Upper Gulch, Upper Muley Twist

    Southern Utah Exploring - Part 2

    After hard rain made me change my pans and skip Capitol Reef, I ended up at The Gulch and did a 2-day hike up Upper Gulch and looped through Egg Canyon. Nice canyon and the petrified wood in Egg Canyon was amazing (though not as abundant as I expected.)

I really should have done more homework on this before setting out, but instead just dove in somewhat blind and explored (more fun that way, though much more of a workout!) First gulley I explored went all the way down w/o a problem, but it put me in the heart of the narrows with no way out and up to the bypass route.
