The Hayduke Trail Utah
Over 800 miles in the desert country of Utah, the Hayduke Trail was my favorite thru hike. It challenged us, no doubt. With the off-trail navigation, water management and no trail signs, it is not for the faint of heart or new thru-hikers. But the route takes you through some of the most beautiful, wild, and remote places in Utah. I truly loved this “trail”. Here is the story of our hike through a short video by Ray (I call it don’t blink) and my daily blogs.
