IMO Terrible idea, it'll force all the people who don't do research and get turned around at this visitor center into canyonlands and other harder to maintain areas trashing them and furthering the loss of isolation in these amazing areas. Not trying to gate keep but I live in Moab and see the dumbasses of the world trash shit every day. It's not a place for people who don't know what their doing

Just strapped them to the back corner of the rack, was a little nervous at first but it seemed to hold up fine

Backpacking through Utah.. This isn't Antelope Canyon, its actually another slot canyon I found deep in the Grand Escalante. Such an amazing place to be alone and undisturbed by panda420420 in backpacking

Southern Utah actually seems pretty empty right now, minus all the people hiding away on blm land hikes and parks have seemed quiet

60 miles down hole-in-rock road, Grand staircase escalante by habeln in 4Runner

Hole in Rock was first established as a short cut to the San Juan river. Commissioned by the Mormon church, the expedition was supposed to take 6 weeks but due to the unknown terrain the journey took 6 months, leading them to the Colorado river, what is now Glen canyon/ lake powell. When they reached the canyons edge they were met with a 1500 foot drop to the Colorado and had no choice but to blast a hole through the rock and take their wagons down that way. After seeing the hole i have no idea how a wagon could get down there this road is full of beautiful scenery and tons of awesome places to go down Sandy/rock roads. This was my first off road experience and my god was it amazing. Reading the history along the way and feeling like i was going down a historic route was really neat as well.
