This was a short notice trip. I wasn't planning a desert trip until May but it was spring break from school and the weather was just too good to ignore. Day 1 consisted of driving to Escalante from SLC then the nice drive 40 miles down Hole-in-the-Rock Road to our day hike and car camp destination. We had planned on backpacking on Hole-in-the-Rock but ended up going back to Escalante the next day for that portion of the trip. It all worked out with the exception of our nice little desert glacier. You'll see......
