    Has anyone taken a hammock backpacking on Grand Gultch?

    I got invited to a 4 day trip on Grand Gultch in Utah. Obviously I want to bring my hammock, but I'm winding if it's feasible on this trip.

    We will be going down Bullet Canyon to Grand Gulch, up Grand Gulch to Kane Gulch, then up to the Kane Gulch Ranger Station.

    Anyone have experience with his bike?

    There are trees in Grand Gulch here and there- no guarantees you'll find them where you want to camp (especially with a group of grounders). If I were to backpack there (have only day hiked partway down Bullet and from Collins tr to the Narrows) I would bring my hammock but be ready to go to ground. Grand Gulch is a simply amazing place and well worth going.

    Here are a few pics from 2008 for what you can expect. We use to head down there to get soak up some sun in March or April and escape the snows of MT and WY.

    After I loaded them I saw they were from Buckskin Gulch (same trip). Don't know how to easily undo my bad. So go to Buckskin too. You won't regret it

    I'll give it one more try and then stop spamming the thread:

    Just to clarify, these are from Grand, not Buckskin.

    Wow! Great place to go. I took my wife there for 4 days a few years ago.
    Yes, there are trees.
    Will they be big enough, close enough, and in the right place???? I don't know.

    Find Perfect Kiva when you head in Bullit Canyon.

    The edit post button hasn't been the problem for me. God knows I have had far too many second thoughts about "Oops, maybe you shouldn't say that." or "Remember the Golden Rule? WWJD? Guess he is still working on my wisdom filter, sigh".

    However, I still have not found a quick or easy or quick and easy way to remove pictures I goofed up on. Tips are welcome.
