The Grand Escalante Loop | Thru-Hiking 33 Days in Utah

The overview video for my 33-day, 425-mile hike AROUND Escalante in southern Utah. Hiking in the spring of 2023 was unique with wet conditions after a winter with record-breaking snowfall. Follow along as I see some amazing sights, enjoy the super bloom, and talk to the animals!

Highlights of the trek include: Death Hollow, Phipps Arch, Zebra Canyon, Harris Wash, Choprock Canyon, The Waterpocket Fold, Stevens Canyon, Coyote Gulch, Fortymile Canyon, Willow Gulch, Fiftymile Canyon, Fiftymile Mountain, Mudholes Ridge Route, Sit Down Bench, Last Chance Wash, Canaan Peek, Powell Point, Barney Top, and more.
