Got off the trail once just after entering the first canyon - you need to cross the canyon just above the first dryfall and climb up the other side to find the cairns. Otherwise, it was a great, strenuous hike with fabulous views; just follow the cairns closely so you don't get lost. I can easily say that this is the best view I've ever seen in Capitol Reef! |

Not exactly sure what year/date we did this hike. Fun to get up to Ferns with some route finding. Great slab hiking to top. Coming down was sketchy in a couple parts. There was one area with slab and sand in it that was about 4 scary steps that I gave myself 25% chance of dying. Lots of exposure with a slip-not particularly hard just scary with potentially bad consequences. This was a GREAT hike. I would not bring beginners up with no approach shoes. |

Love this hike...one of my favorites. Went last spring so date is approx but close enough. Made it about 1/2 way up the "breast" (if you will) before rain turned me around. Rest of part remained at base. The route there and back is spectacular. |
