Here’s a sample Guide page for Escalante, Utah:

Length: 12 miles
Difficulty: 5/10; 1B VI
Season: Spring and Fall
Type: Point-to-point

Coyote Gulch is one of the most beautiful and popular hikes in the area. Though located in the remote Glen Canyon National Recreation Area of Southern Utah, Coyote Gulch is worth the time and effort required to visit, and worthy of its famed status.

Although those who enjoy the feeling of seclusion might resent the evidence of past grazing, for most the beauty of the high Navajo Sandstone canyon walls, the sparkling streams, and the three main attractions – two arches and a natural bridge – will make this hike a favorite.

The best seasons for the hike are spring (March to mid-June) and fall (September to October).
