Hi folks,
Helping some friends plan a trip to southern Utah toward the end of April, would love some input from you.They have 5 full days out there, scenery and wilderness quality are the priority. Not driven by mileage, can do up to 7 miles/day. No rapelling or technical scrambling/climbing. Ideally they don't have to carry more than a day's worth of water. Have reasonable navigation skills, but wouldn't want to go super far outside of helpful-for-routefinding drainages. Did the Silver Falls Bench/Escalante/Choprock loop in Escalante a couple years ago, worked out well.
Any suggestions of great loop routes much appreciated! Esclanate's an obvious choice, but if there are other areas to check out, let me know…
Many thanks!

Here's the possiblities:
Wolverine/Little Death Hollow Loop
Muddy Creek/Poor Canyon
Fence Canyon/25 Mile Wash
Fold Canyon to Fortymile Ridge trailhead
Paria Canyon-Hackberry-Hogeye
Dark Canyon – Basecamp, ramble around
Ashdown Gorge/Cedar Banks – Basecamp, ramble around
