Final Camping site at Indian Creek

We finished the trip with a night camping on the BLM land near Indian Creek. This is the alternate to camping in Canyonlands at Squaw Flats. We found a nice site and were finally able to have a campfire and roast marshmallows. Spending the evening around the camp fire was a great way to end a wonderful trip.

Here are some of the details that I found to be important for a trip into the Maze District:

Reservations, Canyonlands requires reservations for back country camping. If you are going to be making your trip in peak season you may need to get your reservation made months in advance.

Camp Sites, Starting the trip at Panorama POint was a great way to begin. We could see all of Canyonlands a get a perspective of where out trip would take us. For our Second night we should have made it all the way to Doll House and spent 3 nights there. An additional day hike to Chocolate Drops would have been enjoyed by us.

Equipment:

• Chains should be carried if there is any rick of rain.
• You need to have your own toilette system. We used the Pett system and were very happy with it.
