On lands of the Southern Paiute, Pueblos and Ute Peoples designated as BLM/Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, Southern Utah

After breakfast, coffee and tea we packed up in beautiful light while Jules captured some imagery before setting off back up Little Death Hollow canyon and the 11.38 miles to the trailhead. Feet were a little sore and shoulders feeling it but we were stoked to have an entire new perspective looking up the canyon. Anticipating the drops we navigated would require some climbing and teamwork we pumped up our stoke for sharing the adventure with each other and agreed to take good care as we navigated the challenges uphill. Everyone did great although the difficulties were more than any of us anticipated from what we’d read or heard about the nature of LDH. So awesome to be challenged!

By the time we made it back to the trailhead at 4:30 p.m. our little doggies were screaming and we were pretty pooped, with a 2.5+ hour drive ahead of us. The next objective was to get a hustle on to get back to Escalante, get some dinner and find a place to set up camp on the other side of the Escalante River down the Hole in the Rock Road. Jules still had some camping shots he needed to get so we busted a move to make it to camp before sunset.

The remaining imagery from the overnight trip follows from Day 1 and Day 2, as well as some camp shots. What a spectacular place! Super stoked that Andrew pointed us here and we could not have been more stoked to share it together!
