Kane to Bullet Canyon Backpacking Trip- Utah
Details
Head to the desert this fall and explore Kane and Bullet canyons in Cedar Mesa, Utah on a 2 day, 20.5 mile backpacking trip. We'll meet Friday evening, October 24th and camp on BLM land near the Bullet canyon trailhead. (exact spot TBD, depending on availability, ill share options prior to the start). The next day, we'll backpack 11.7 miles and set up camp near Coyote Spring in Grand Gulch. On Sunday, October 26th, we'll backpack 9.7 miles out of Bullet canyon to the trailhead. Government TH provides additional mileage to an arch, see map below. There are many ancient ruins and petroglyphs in the canyons, and we'll take some time to explore these places. Sometimes the trail may not be maintained, requiring some route finding. Previous backpacking experience is required, please join the wait list and I'll confirm availability and experience. The campsite for Saturday, October 25th may be moved slightly depending on water availability from recent trip reports and from the ranger station.
Optional- car pool Thursday, October 23rd at 4 pm from the Wooly Mammoth Park and Ride in Golden, and camp near Moab, UT. I plan to work remotely from Moab on Friday, October 25th, and then head to the Friday campsite. Please message me if you'd also like to do this.
Permits for the trip are $15.75/per person, and I currently paid for 8 spots. Please paypal or venmo the $15.75 to reserve your spot on the trip. Please message me for payment info.
