Backpacking with the Sierra Club in Coyote Gulch, Utah
Day 2, June 30, 2010

Day 2: We continued down Coyote Gulch about 2.5 miles to Jacob Hamblin Arch where we camped in the enormous alcove at the toe of the fin that forms the arch. With such a short day of hiking, we explored a side canyon along the way.
