Coyote Gulch

Coyote Gulch is a tributary of the Escalante River, located in Garfield and Kane Counties in southern Utah, in the western United States.

The headwaters of Coyote Gulch originates along a 14 mi (23 km)[1] segment of the Straight Cliffs Formation which is the eastern edge of the Kaiparowits Plateau.

The HITRR is an unpaved road that heads southeast into the Grand Staircase–Escalante National Monument, branching off Utah Scenic Byway 12 about 5 mi (8.0 km) east of Escalante.

[2] The Red Well trailhead is at the end of a short spur road off the HITRR, and leads into the main channel near its junction with Big Hollow Wash.

Further downstream, Spooky Gulch is over 30 ft (9.1 m) deep, but the channel rarely widens to more than 15 in (38 cm), forcing hikers to remove their backpacks and walk sideways.
