Floating the entire Death Hollow from Hells Backbone, 7 day Backpacking loop w My Own Frontier, Utah
We did this 7 day loop in the Box Death Hollow Wilderness on a very hot week. We started from the Death Hollow Trailhead at the Hells Backbone Road and used a 5$ Walmart tube and a packraft to float down the entire Death Hollow to the Escalante River. From there we walked the Slickrock Saddle Bench back to Hells Backbone, intersecting the Boulder Mail trail and trashing through sections of Sand Creek. It was a remarkable trip and the beauty of Death Hollow really showed itself as we had perfect warm weather for the many chilly sections of water through the narrows. Amazing trip!
