Goblin Valley and Coyote Gulch, Escalante Oct. 27-28, 2007

Glad came into town on Friday night and we left Saturday at 4 am. We took a wrong turn on our way down to Escalante and ended up going through Capital Reef National Park and spoted Goblin, then new that we were lost. So we took advantage of where we were and did the little horse shoe and bell canyon after running around in Goblin Valley. We left there about 4 pm and got to Escalante around 8pm. Crashed for the night and woke up at 5 to hike Coyote Gulch. All and all we did about 30+ miles in two days, 20+ on Sunday after not being able to get out at the usual point because it was a little too dangerous. And you know that if I thought it was dangerous it was! Great weekend. Both my feet are wrapped and I am maxing out on IB Profin to kick the pain and swelling. I guess I am not quite as durable as I was at 20!
