boulder creek narrows hike
We will do a loop starting from Haymaker Bench, crossing a ridge, descending a spectacular side canyon route to Boulder Creek, strenuous wading through the narrows section, then returning to the road by walking upstream in the Escalante River. Route is non-technical, but will require swimming deep pools for several hundred yards or scrambling on the overland bypass. Wet suit and dry bag recommended. Plan for a long day, then recover at my cabin. An alternative spectacular canyon hike will be substituted if participant skill level, weather or stream flow conditions make this route unsafe.
