The Mudholes Ridge Route | GEL Part 10

More from my 33-day solo backpacking adventure in spring of 2023. In this episode I continue across Fiftymile Mountain and continue to Mudholes Point. From there I attempt a new route along the sheer cliffs and enjoyed the amazing views in many directions -- including all the way to Lake Powell. The route involved some route-finding challenges, but overall wasn't too difficult and had a few surprises along the way. Eventually I was able to descend to the west and into Rogers Canyon as hoped. IMHO I'd consider the Mudholes Ridge Route a better option for those doing the Hayduke when compared to Monday Canyon as it's shorter, faster, and more scenic.

This is the extended series for my hike and includes a bunch more footage and stories not seen in the original all-in-one overview video. This 12-part series takes a deeper dive into the route I dubbed the Grand Escalante Loop and covers over 400 miles through southern Utah's amazing canyon country, remote plateaus, and high elevations. It was a slow go at times, but still a great hike. 2023 was a unique year with record-breaking snowpack over winter and a rainy spring. Thanks for following along!
