A Hidden Hike That Stopped Me in My Tracks

I hiked Coyote Gulch in southern Utah last spring — no permits, no crowds, just winding sandstone walls, natural arches, and quiet pools in the middle of nowhere. Way less talked about than Zion or Bryce, but honestly just as mind-blowing.

Tip: Wear good water shoes (you’ll be crossing streams a lot), and don’t rush — sunset light in the canyon is next-level.

If you’ve got a hike that felt like a secret, I wanna hear it. Always looking for the next hidden trail worth getting lost in.
