Thanks folks!   

 

 

Our itinerary is 2-29 at Deadhorse SP, [WRT] 3-1 at Gooseberry B, 3-2 & 3-3 at White Crack, 3-4 at Murphy C and 3-5 at Taylor and from there we head South, Mule Cyn [House on Fire], Natural Bridges, Muley Pt, Moki DW, South Coyote Butte,  White Pocket, Tuweep, Smokey Mt Byway, HITR road and side cyns, dinner at Hell's Backbone Grill, Cathedral Valley (CRNP.)..Goblin?   We come home 3-31...all of this is dependent on weather-road conditions and our whims!

Phil,  some observations:

 

1) the HITR road was VERY bad washboard last fall.  I would hesitate to drive it again.  If you do, check out the camping around Sooner Bench.  

2) Goblin is goofy, but the hiking and BLM camping near there is great.  Check out Little Wild Horse canyon for hiking, as well as Chute canyon.

A couple of neat pictographs up Little Wild Horse, too.  Hard to find.

Vic,

 

Yes...couple years ago the washboard pounded us...price you pay!  We camped on the redrock at Sooner Bench; outstanding views and solitude..loved it; cup of coffee while sitting on rock watching the sun rise, does not get any better than that...this time I have allotted 4 nights out there along HITR...Broken Bow arch was cool...

 

...our agenda is to hike everyday for the majority of the daylight..

 

Thanks for tip on Little Wild Horse and Chute Cyn; will look at them....honestly have not yet looked into Goblin or that area...will spend two nights at Cathedral Valley [repeat for us] and then head North/NE toward 70 and over to Goblin area...tentatively coming home via hwy 6 North....

 

Appreciate all the input folks!

 

Phil

Your photos are excellent and appreciated....any clues about which canyon and where in the canyon the above pictographs [or the others] are found?  I like discover learning but don't want to miss them either..

 

Thanks...Phil

Phil, go to the Little Wildhorse Canyon section in the Martres book.  Volume 1.  I believe you have that one.   If not, send me a PM.

 

And, thanks for the kind words.
