In reply to Paul Mags. We made it down over Spring Break. WOW!!!! 4 days of car camping was not enough to even scratch the surface of this place. I can't wait to head back again. Now that I have a little better feeling for the place I can pre-plan a little better. Thanks for the initial blog post!

Grand Gulch was one of three finalists for my annual Southern UT trip this year! I just decided on the Maze instead though… too many awesome places that I’ve never been. I may end up regretting the decision though if that region does change permanently for the worse

In reply to Jay Jacskon.

Just “down the road” from Moab (more or less!) near Blanding. Definitely worth checking out. The NatGeo Cedar Mesa / Grand Gulch Map is highly suggested:
https://www.amazon.com/Grand-Gulch-Cedar-Mesa-Plateau/dp/1566953073

This book was suggested for me (if some of the details are a little outdated for permits)
https://www.amazon.com/Hiking-Guide-Cedar-Mesa/dp/0874806801

Finally, many websites are very helpful. I’d use the map and book above, then Google search for more details based on what looks good.

Hope this helps!

Great story!!! You just may have pushed my annual Moab Spring Break trip, with my son, a little farther south this year. Any good resources you recommend for planning a trip down there?

Thank you so much for providing this spectacular look into what we are losing (unless the lawsuits filed by the tribes and Earth Justice succeed).

Fun fact, there’s another ruin named Perfect Kiva, this one in Slickhorn Canyon, one canyon system to the south. BLM allows entrance to both of them – and both of them are very neat.
