We did it in 3days/2 nights, so yes it’s possibly but doesn’t give you much time for stopping to take in the sights. I think Aug is probably going to be pretty similar to July in terms of weather and bugs, maybe even warmer/muggier. I think Sept-early Oct would be the sweet spot

Definitely a lot of rattlesnakes!

Whenever it’s not too hot

Hey! HA small world! Glad the bugs weren’t so bad for you guys and that you enjoyed it more than we did!

Thank you so much 👍

Not cold at all. We have a double sleeping bag and if anything we were a little too warm.

We went in Dec. definitely humid, but doable!

There’s a map on our post showing the entry points and where the arches are: ourinfiniteearth.com/guide-to-coyote-gulch/

@@ourinfiniteearth thank you so much!

Yes you need a rope. It’s a very steep rock face.

@@ourinfiniteearth how far you have to walk from where you park car?

Yes you can hike in via Hurricane Wash which is 5mi along a dry wash instead

@@ourinfiniteearth would i need a 4x4 car or would my compact car do fine on the drive there?

@@rosiehernandez4194 Depends on the weather. We were able to make the drive in our Prius just fine, but we also had to cut our trip short by a day because it was going to rain and we didn't think that it was a good idea to try to drive the dirt road in our Prius.

Enjoy!

Thanks for watching!

Beginning of Dec

Glad I found this video! Would you recommend the resort? Kid friendly? TY!

It was a place where my fiance went as a kid and we found it just from his memory. But we entered from Upper Lake, curved around the mountain for a bit, then it turns to a dirt road and crosses the river and after that there's a few campgrounds.

We wore water shoes and neoprene socks. They were dry by the next morning each day. More details on the gear we used available here: ourinfiniteearth.com/buckskin-gulch-paria-canyon-backpacking-guide/#gear

@@ourinfiniteearth okay gotcha. thanks! We'll check it out

Thanks! We did have a great time! Sounds like you had an amazing view of the fireworks!! This was my first visit to MNF, but my fiance has been coming here for years ever since he was a kid

@@ourinfiniteearth Next time your both going keep me in mind. I go camping or on a day trip about every two weeks. Last weekend was a mission to find the B-17 crash, but I got distracted by N roads and dispersed camp sites. Safe travels. Cheers!

I tried to return it, but they wouldn't give any refund and eventually just stopped responding to me. They offered for me to mail it back to Jerusalem myself (pay for shipping myself) and then they would send me another one. I saw another customer's Amazon review that had the same leaking issue and they offered the same thing to her, so apparently the "100% satisfaction guarantee" that they say on their website is just BS and you're stuck with it once you have it, even if it's a defective product. I write more about it and have screenshots of the emails and such in my blog here: ourinfiniteearth.com/rhinowolf-tent-review/

Shame, I love their ads.

If you're taking the water tank route like we did, the rock face where you drop into the canyon is about 100-150ft drop. We put together a detailed post with everything you need to know about this trip here: ourinfiniteearth.com/travel-destinations/american-southwest/guide-to-coyote-gulch/

@@ourinfiniteearth You guys are awesome! thank you so much!! :)

We have a blog post with all of the details: ourinfiniteearth.com/guide-to-coyote-gulch/

It was 200ft which was more than enough. 150ft would be totally fine

Could you please tell me how thick the rope was and how much it weighed to carry in/out. Thank you!

Interesting! No, I didn't get the 4 season tent, just the 2 season one, so it only came in one package. My guess would be that your additional blanket is supposed to be zipped in since their whole thing is "all in one". I would guess that the 2 season tent is the "stock" version that they just have laying around ready to go, so then if anyone orders the "upgrades", all they have to do is send the upgrade separately and not worry about repacking the "stock" version.

@@ourinfiniteearth have you been able to look at the REI Co-OP backpacking bundle? It's on sale at the moment for $225. I shied away because of the listed weight and extra pole (I'm a beginner tent builder)

Nope it's not. This is the first iteration afaic. My 2.0 does not look like this.

My Rhinowolf doesn't look like this either. The cross pole on the top goes on the outside on mine and the quilt and mat are branded with the Rhinowolf logos. I wonder if this gal got a knock-off version somehow...

These were RhinoWolf 1, purchased directly from their website, so I'd be surprised if it was a knockoff. Maybe they had different versions of 1?

@@ourinfiniteearth Mine is the 2.0 version. It works fine. Sorry you got the shoddy first version.

This is the 1.0 - not a knock-off. I stumbled over here while considering the 2.0 version. I'm disappointed the bags don't come together very well on the 1.0, also I understand the concept of reducing weight by using the pad and as the bottom of the "bag" but I would rather see at least a thin breathable something between my body and the mat. Any of the other people here, can you confirm please if the 2.0 has fixed the leak issues?

The waterfall was a day trip from the resort. It was on the main island after a short walk through the jungle.

Yep - took the water tour route both ways, which means going down and then back up the rock face.

@@ourinfiniteearth did you leave the rope hanging there?

@@nicolefath6230 While we were down in the canyon, yes. I think it would be impossible to undo the tie around the hole in the rock from the bottom. It was still there when we came back a few days later (and others were using it) and when we left then we took it out with us. When we first got there and went down someone else's rope was also there, but it was gone when we went back up, so they must have taken theirs and it was a good thing we had brought and tied off our own, otherwise there would have been no rope for getting back up!

@@ourinfiniteearth What length rope do you need to make it down safely?

@@Whhhpssh maybe 150ft. 200 was too long

This was the first week of May (3-6)
