Join ‪@SimplySequoiah‬ for a solo backpacking adventure through Coyote Gulch—one of the most breathtaking canyons in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument! At 55, I’m here to show that you are never too old to explore wild places and step into a nature immersed journey all your own. Starting from the Hurricane Wash trailhead, I take you through this stunning desert canyon of towering red walls, flowing water, and iconic arches. Along the way, I share beginner-friendly tips and honest insights about what to expect if you're visiting Coyote Gulch for the first time, including: -Helpful advice for navigating quicksand, slickrock, and stream crossings -Footwear suggestions that made my trek more comfortable and safe -Ideas on where to camp for the best views and peaceful nights -Tips for hiking solo with confidence—from preparation to mindset -Highlights of the route, including Jacob Hamblin Arch and Coyote Natural Bridge My time in Coyote Gulch in mid October, 2025 was truly life changing for me. Cameras and video footage cannot do this place justice, so you might just want to consider a trip to Escalante National Monument! Whether you're planning your own first-time trip or just love exploring the outdoors, I hope this video fills you with inspiration to get out there—at any age, with or without a partner—and experience the magic of backpacking. #solobackpackingtrip #utahhiking #escalante Coyote Gulch, Coyote Gulch backpacking, Hurricane Wash trailhead, Escalante National Monument, Grand Staircase Escalante, Utah backpacking, Southern Utah Backpacking, Solo backpacking woman, Backpacking over 50, Solo female backpacker, Desert canyon hiking, Coyote Gulch campsites, Coyote natural bridge, Jacob Hamblin Arch, Backpacking tips, Best backpacking trips Utah, Hiking alone confidence, Backpacking gear tips, Solo travel inspiration, Dancing in Nature
