This is a trail that I have long dreamed of doing for it’s beauty, remoteness, and challenge. I hope my past desert hiking experiences have prepared me for what many say is the hardest thru hike in the United States. Having now done the Pacific Crest Trail, Arizona Trail, and Grand Enchantment Trail which are all in desert environments I think that those have been a good primer for something like this! I haven't yet done the Continental Divide Trail, but that would also be a really great thru hike to prepare for this one as they both involve route finding, long water carries, remoteness, and a whole lot of brutality.
The Hayduke Trail passes through Arches National Park, Canyonlands National Park, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Capitol Reef National Park, Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument, Bryce Canyon National Park, Grand Canyon National Park, and Zion National Park. As well as some of the most scenic trails and areas in not just Utah, but Arizona, and the entire United States.
I think the Hayduke Trail is one of the most interesting thru hikes in the entire world, as well as being one of the hardest thru hikes. It will be a true adventure, and we are both super excited for it!!
It is worth mentioning that I am hiking this trail with my partner, we are not sharing much gear on this trail as I think given the difficulty it will be good to be self sufficient. She is carrying a PLB (Personal Locator Beacon) as well as a repair kit, which I am not carrying. While I am carrying our two person shelter.

A moment of silence for all ultralight hikers who got blown away by the wind.

You always crack me up when you pull out that gossamer gear pad 😂

I have so much respect for thru hikers who decide to carry bigger/heavier camera gear for better image quality. Us viewers are lucky as hell!

Way too many desert creepy crawlies out there for me not to bring a tent rather than a tarp. You're a brave lad, have fun out there.

Little tip for the leukotape: round the edges to help with unwanted peeling.
