Hurricane Wash and Drive to Mt Carmel

Bushell left to drive home around 8. John and I drove to Hurricane Wash to hike. We had heard about it from a couple from Idaho who had back packed it. We hiked about 5 1/2 miles in. We got to a small creek with water and there were a lot of reeds and trees. We heard the best part of the hike was the arch at the end but that’s about 8 miles one way. We had lunch and then hiked back. Total it was about 12 miles with a lot of it in sand that made it tough. I don’t think we need to do this again.
One important note is that Bushell found out that Zebra slot is on the same road. In fact it is closer to Escalante then Spooky. Should try Zebra next time. We heard it was good.
We left Hurricane about 3 and drove back to Twin Hollows camp ground, the same one we stayed at with Bushell. Had dinner in a restaurant for the first time in Mt Carmel Junction. No one was in it when we got there but it filled up by the time we were done.Read more
