I spent a week backpacking through Coyote Gulch and it was awe-inspiring. Coyote Gulch is located just south of Escalante, UT near the Bryce Canyon National Monument. All told, we hiked about 28 miles over 5 days and saw a good portion of the canyon. Along the way, I took quite a few photos of the beautiful landscapes and stunning natural features. Here’s a few photos that show what a gorgeous trip it was:
View near where we parked. I loved this old, gnarled tree.
Once you drop into the gulch, the stream that cuts through the middle provides a lush undergrowth of greenery.
The stream widens as you go deeper into the gulch.
The rock formations are one of the most impressive attractions.
The gulch narrows considerably once you are deep inside.
More of those amazing sandstone formations.
The marbled rock formations are breathtaking.
The front side of the famous Jacob Hamblin Arch.
The pictures just can’t capture how massive this arch was up close.
We dubbed this the “Cathedral”.
The back side of the Hamblin Arch.
A great example of the unique rock formations.
The Coyote Natural Bridge.
The hike back out of the gulch on the last day. An amazing view of the far mountains.
