Others:
1) Boucher – Hermit. The Boucher descent is thrilling. It provides cliff edge hiking, a near vertical descent through the redwall and ultimately a lovely relatively untrammeled beach. This is a challenging 2-night hike; spend night 2 at Monument and not the over-abused Hermit camp area. Clear water available the first night from Boucher Creek and generally night 2 from Monument Creek.
2) New Hance – Grandview. This of this as the Grandview/Horseshoe Mesa loop on steroids. Visually stunning. And generally good clear water availability (1/2 mile before reaching the beach at the end of the New Hance, and again at Page Spring/Miners Bathtub).
3) The Escalante Route. Can be Tanner to New Hance (2-3 nights) or Tanner to Grandview (3-4 nights). The rim to river trails are well established and obvious though may need to navigate an occasional rockslide, but the Escalante Route does not follow established trails and gives a greater sense of remoteness; there is sufficient traffic to create use trails so little risk of getting lost. As a bonus there is a short climb down and a short climb up (20-30′); both non-technical but some find them un-nerving with a pack on, bring some parachute cord just in case. Clear water availability can be iffy, be prepared to pull from the Colorado; a glacial silt prefilter recommended.
