After two bike tours and a sea kayak tour, we’ve decided it’s time to lace up our boots and go for a walk. Our next adventure will be to hike the Hayduke Trail in Southern Utah, in the beautiful canyons and deserts that make the Southwest U.S. a magical place! We’ll start in early or mid-March. The plan is coming together now, and soon we’ll post our estimated schedule.

The Hayduke Trail route map

This is a fairly new and still mostly unknown through-hike mapped out by Joe Mitchell and Mike Coronella, who published a guide in 2005 called The Hayduke Trail. The base mileage for the route is 812 miles, though additional off-route hiking for re-supplies brings it up to around 930 miles.

In the next few weeks I’ll be adding information about the hike and our particular plans. For now, take a look at the route and the beautiful places we’ll get to see:
