About The HDT: March 23rd – May 23rd

More of a route than a blazed trail, the rugged and remote Hayduke Trail weaves for over 800mi, ranging in elevation from 1,800ft-11,419ft, as it goes through the Southwestern US desert, hitting the prominent national parks of Arches, Canyonlands, Capital Reef, Glen Canyon, Bryce Canyon, and the Grand Canyon. It was quite the experience for a midwestern gal who had never set foot in any of these places before and had only done long hikes on actual trails.
