I’m heading out to Utah in early May with my wife and a friend, and among a bunch of day hikes we have an overnight loop through Little Death Hollow and back through Wolverine Canyon.
Without a side trip to the Escalante River, the mileage is exactly where I’d want it – ~15 miles. With the side trip it’s 20 miles, and my wife generally isn’t fond of going more than 10 miles in a day.
The only reason a side trip to the Escalante river would be necessary is if Horse Canyon, our intended camping spot 8.5 miles in, is dry.
Can someone comment on what the water supply is typically like in Horse Canyon in early May? Thanks so much in advance for your help!
