Coyote Gulch: Where bloggers failed me. Coyote Gulch

Trip we took: Hurricane Wash to Crack in the Wall
I don't take researching a trip lightly. I want to know the nitty gritty of it so my family and I can be prepared. I travel everywhere with my kids and husband.

Every blog and video I saw about the tip looked good and fun. (which I agree it is)

ALL RECOMMENDATIONS SAID:
The easiest route was Hurricane Wash to Crack in the Wall.
This would save the best views for last.
Hurricane Wash is boring, it would ruin the end of the trip, so do it first.
The trail leads you right to the sand dunes.

THE TRUTH
Crack in the Wall does have an amazing view. But don't save it for last!
To get to crack in the Wall you will travel almost 2 miles UP sand dunes. (in the heat, carrying a large full backpack!)
You will use most if not all your water just on the trip up the sand dunes. Then still have to walk through partial sand for 2 miles to your car after getting up crack in the wall.
The trail up the dunes is not obvious, these sand dunes are covered in plants. If you miss the trail, you will end up crossing a scary slanted cliff area. (NOT good with kids)

WHAT YOU SHOULD DO:
Start at Crack in the Wall! Use fresh feet and excited beginning of the trip energy to cross the partial sand 2 mile hike to crack in the wall.
Take in the view.
Bring 30 ft of rope to lower backpacks down crack in the wall.
Hike about 2 miles DOWN sand dunes! Lots easier.
The view continues the whole way down.
When you reach the canyon bottom follow the trail to the LEFT!
Enjoy all the water cliffs and arches! Hike about 7 miles to a split in the canyon. Canyon that goes to the left of the river is Hurricane Wash. Following the river will lead you to Red Well Trailhead.
Hurricane Wash is still beautiful, just dry, and a mainly flat hike. (Lots easier after 2 days of hiking!)

Backpacking with kids, Coyote Gulch, UT.
Part 1

Not going to lie, this trip made me feel every emotion. Joy, fear, exhaustion, elation, wonder, worry, anxiety, peace and more.

I'm going to show you the highlights over the next day or two then give you the dirt after. I read many blogs researching this trip and wish someone would have been real in their advice. It would have saved us a lot of tears. (Adult stress and tears, kids are incredibly resilient.)

So let's start with the good!
This is the icon of Coyote Gulch, the Jacob Hamblin Arch.

⭐ As you can see it's big, and beautiful!
⭐ Great spot to spend the night, but everyone else wants to stay there too, so it's not private.
⭐ Fun place to have lunch, a snack, and refill your water.
⭐ Great spot for pictures
⭐ Located about 7 miles from the Hurricane Wash trail head.
⭐ If hiking with kids, 7 miles is a lot in one day, we broke it up and camped at the 5 mile spot where the wash first meets the river.
❤️ Then we saw the Arch on day 2.

Not just a rock pile.

🌞 Cairns are stacks of rocks made by hikers to help them find their way back from a long hike in a new area.
🌞 Don’t make cairns for fun, only make them if you feel you might need it.
🌞 Hikers can become lost if too many cairns are randomly made just for fun.
🌞 If you find a cairn don't destroy it. A hiker just might need it to find their way.

👀 Hike safely and keep your eyes open for cairns as you explore!

❤️ Pure magic!

Who doesn't love a good slot canyon.... with ladders!

⭐️ As its name implies, the ladders of Ladder Canyon make this hike unique.
⭐️ Tucked into a beautiful slot canyon, they allow you to climb up dry waterfalls.
⭐️ Don't let the trailhead fool you, your ladder hike begins by scrambling up a small rock fall to the left of the main trail that leads you into the slot canyon.
⭐️ The trail is sandy and requires good hiking shoes and the ability to climb ladders. This is a fun area for the kids to explore and wander.
⭐️ The high walls and windy turns make the slot section of the hike exciting, and it will seem to go by quickly.
⭐️ The full loop is about 4.9 miles, so you’ll need to bring snacks and plenty of water.
⭐️ You are also hiking in the desert, so plan for the hot weather and don’t hike this area after it has been raining.
⭐️ Check out the weather report before visiting. Flash floods can kill or injure you and can damage the trails and ladders.

Best word ever! Hoodoo!

⭐️ Have you ever seen or explored a hoodoo?

⭐️A hoodoo is a tall column of rock in the shape of a totem pole. It can have several layers of stacked sedimentary and volcanic rocks that give it unique colors.

⭐️At Red Rocks Canyon SP in California some of the rock layers contain iron that oxidizes or rusts as is mixes with water and oxygen!

⭐️Wind and water slowly break down hoodoos until they fall down. This really takes a long time, so even though hoodoos are constantly changing and breaking down, they will still be around for years to come!

⭐️Hoodoos are also typically found in hot, dry areas of the desert.

⭐️Check out the hoodoos of Red Rocks Canyon, CA.

To learn about Red Rocks, hoodoos, and more check out our California Desert Explorer! Click link in Bio.

He'll 👀 you before you 👀 him.

🙌 Yes the red-tailed hawk's eyesight is 8 times better than yours!
⭐️ They can see a mouse on the ground from 100 feet away.
⭐️ Soaring over the landscape and letting out a screechy loud “keeer” call, they are common throughout North America.
⭐️ Adults sport a characteristic red tail, a deep brown back, and banded belly.
⭐️ Finding water in the desert isn't a problem for these powerful birds, they get needed moisture from their prey!
⭐️ They prefer open woodlands with tall nesting trees and an abundance of small mammals, but can also live in rocky desert areas.
⭐️ Nests are stick piles sometimes measuring over six feet high and three feet wide.
⭐️ In Red Rocks Canyon they make their nests in the canyon cliffs.

Find them and more on your next trip to Red Rock Canyon State Park!

Who knew rust could be so beautiful!

❤️ Yes, that's what you see when you visit Red Rocks Canyon SP.

👍 The colorful pink, red, white, and brown stacked cliffs of Red Rock Canyon offer visitors of all ages opportunities for rock scrambling and exploration.
👍 For thousands of years, Red Rock Canyon was used as a Native American trade route.
👍 Many of the rocks in the area have slowly been eroded by the wind and rain, forming tall stacked columns called hoodoos.
👍 Thanks to a natural process called oxidation, we will continue to see these beautiful "rusted" red rocks for thousands more.

🌴 Indian Canyons is home to the Andreas Canyon Loop that will take you through the oasis to the spring where water feeds the oasis, then it loops gradually up the hill above the palm tree line to see the oasis from a new perspective. Yes there is a fee to visit here.

🌴 Another oasis you can visit in the Palm Springs area is the Coachella Valley Preserve. (Also known as Thousand Palms Oasis) The cost is free, and has a fun boardwalk to view the first oasis and hiking trails to view a second oasis pond that has desert pupfish!

More than just a pretty face.

As one of the Mojave Desert's largest predators they do more than look good and pest control. Coyotes are important to spreading life in an oasis.

🐺 They eat the fruit of the California fan palm that live in oases, and spread its seeds throughout the desert in their p**p!
🐺 This spreads California fan palms to other oases and fertile land. These trees provide shelter, shade and food for other creatures and reduce water evaporation in an oasis.
🐺 In the desert the coyote has light brown to greyish fur for camouflage to help it hide in the grass and the rocks.
🐺 They are not picky eaters which allows them to live in the wild and in cities.
🐺 They also eat small animals such as mice, rabbits, cats, small dogs, grasses and fruit.

Where's your ❤️ at?

We once met a woman named Roxy who actively looked for hearts in nature. Since then I can't help but see them everywhere, in bark, rocks, and in the shape of some leaves. And yes, I'm reminded of her kindness every time we find one!

We found the heart in this image in the bark of a greenleaf manzanita in Pinnacles National Park.

Toughest owl on the block!

🦉 These owls are terrible nest builders so the often steal the nest of other birds like bald eagles and hawks!
🦉 Their talons are so strong that if they were bigger they could crush a human skull
🦉 Their eyes are the same size as human eyes, except they can see up to 3 football fields away at night!
🦉 They can carry up to 3 times their weight! That means they can carry small dogs.
🦉 Their "horns" are actually large feathers that function like eyebrows to show expression and make them look larger when needed.

Are you a sculpture person or slot canyon person?

❤️ That's one thing I love about visiting Anza Borrego State Park, I can be both!

Go early to explore The Slot, the parking area is small and the dirt road out there is narrow beat the crowds!
Sculptures can be seen at anytime because you can stay in your car right next to them. For best pics go ealy in the morning or before sunset.

On yout trip make sure to:
👍 Hike The Slot, .8 mile out and back.
Drive to see all the sculptures (the Serpent “Dragon” is my favorite).
Hike Cactus Loop Trail, .75 mile loop.
See the wildflower superbloom. This doesn't happen every year; call ahead and visit in the spring.
Take in the view at Fonts Point.

Symbiosis Home Lab

Do you want to learn about symbiosis but can't go to Joshua Tree NP? 🙌 Regardless of where you are, learning can still be hands on and fun! ⭐️ The more time I spend outdoors I'm amazed about how many opportunities I've found to tie in this symbiosis lesson! 🦏 I've taken my kids to the zoo and they'll ask why the rhinos don't have ospreys with them. This gave me a great chance to discuss with them the need (symbiotic relationship) they have in the wild verses the role of zoo keepers in a zoo. 🐝 If you travel anywhere in the Mojave Desert you will see Joshua Trees, or you can tie the lesson in when you see a bee on a flower or a dog scratching itself. Your learning opportunities are endless! 🐕 How would you tie this symbiosis lesson into your life?!

Are you planning a visit to Devils Postpile? If so save this post! This amazing place definitely surprised us! We did so much swimming! The Postpile itself was impressive, but getting to swim at Rainbow Falls was incredible! Then we made a stop at Sotcher Lake because my inlaws recommended it and were surprised to find areas of pumice rock. Pumice floats! So we spent a good chunk of time throwing pumice in the lake them swimming out to get it! It was such a fun day! Things you need to do: Admire Devils Postpile, .4 mile one way (check out the formation from above and below) 💦 Hike to Rainbow Falls from Devils Postpile, 2 miles to the falls. 💦 Swim in the pool and river at the base of rainbow falls. Hike 1.3 miles back to shuttle stop #9 afterwards. 💦 Walk the Sotcher Lake Nature Trail, 1.2 miles trail going around the left side of the lake. The full loop takes you up a tall hill. Just walk the part by the lake. 💦 Swim or play in the water at Sotcher Lake to cool off after all your hiking.

Have you ever seen an Albino Redwood? These trees are rare and also considered a parasite. Look at the leaves, they look just like redwood leaves just in white! 🌲 An Albino Redwood is a redwood tree that cannot produce chlorophyll. Without chlorophyll it can't make its own food (photosynthesis), so instead its roots take sugar from a host redwood tree that it lives on. We've seen two in our travels one in Calaveras State Park and the other in Humboldt Redwoods State Park.
