robbers roost car camp - May 6, 2023
On Saturday, we'll do a long hike in the upper reaches of Robbers Roost, a north-side tributary of the Dirty Devil River below Hanksville. We will enter at White Roost and hike to the end of the right fork of the Middle Fork and back. It's glorious slickrock canyon country, with high walls and big domes. The hike is 13 to 15 mi round trip, with a steep descent slab at the entry point and some soft sand in places. On Sunday, we'll do an exploratory hike to the east fork of Buck Canyon (arch and natural bridge), or the slickrock country in lower Pasture Canyon, or (if we're really ambitious) we can visit the rock art in Horseshoe Canyon.
