Still worth it. 📍Golden Cathedral near Escalante, Utah 🥾9.6 miles RT with 1594 ft gain on the way out when you’ll be tired. 🪧 Egypt trailhead 🛻 High clearance recommend-check for most recent conditions 🧭 GPS required 💦 6 river crossings check for most current conditions. Can be anywhere from ankle to chest deep (we brought water shoes for the crossings) 🍏Bring plenty of snacks and at least 2-3 liters of water.

The Bentonite Hills near Hanksville absolutely lived up to the hype once I was able to see an aerial view from my drone. 💡 Timing is everything when shooting any kind of Bentonite Clay. Although the colors really pop in post-processing and you can do all kinds of editing, this place is nothing short of amazing in real life. Bluebird skies really make the colors muted and unimpressive, so for best results, go during blue hour or on a cloudy day. The above videos were shot on a cloudy day between 3-4pm with simple auto-edits applied on my iPhone. ➡️ Have you been? Were you impressed? If you have a drone, I would definitely add this spot to my Southwest roadtrip. | Hi, I’m Mallory || Southwest Adventure ✨ | Facebook
