Southern Utah: Grand Staircase Adventure: Coyote Gulch

The Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument is famous for its beautiful canyons, and the breathtaking scenery within Coyote Gulch tops
them all. Towering sandstone cliffs provide the backdrop to this sinuous gorge as we follow the creek bed for 14 miles, all the way to the Escalante River. Numerous sandstone arches greet us along the way, some of the biggest in the region! Ruins and pictographs invite us to consider the natives who made these canyons their home hundreds of years ago. Picturesque waterfalls encourage us to linger just a bit longer during the day, and at night we will drift to sleep under a stunning sky full of stars. Additional highlights include a visit to a bed of fossilized dinosaur footprints numbering in the hundreds and optional side hikes through some of Utah’s famous slot canyons.

Canyon Ministries hiking guides will provide a wealth of information on the history of the region, insight into the geological formations encountered, and more – all from a Biblical Creation perspective. This trip has everything you could ask for in a backcountry adventure in one of the most beautiful settings you can find in the southwest!
