Hiking 36mi Without Water - Hayduke Trail Thru Hike 2
Вставка
- Опубліковано 7 вер 2024
- Our 800 mile thru hike of the Hayduke Trail continues out of Moab Utah! We have left Arches National Park, and now enter some remote canyons to the west which are unfortunately waterless. In this section we have to hike 36 miles, nearly two full days, without seeing any water. We also take some really exciting alternate routes which involve some scrambling and rock climbing! The Hayduke lives up to the hype.

Hiking out of Moab we follow the road past the new Kane Creek Development, an unfortunate thing to see such a pretty area devastated by what will become luxury homes. Little security cameras are everywhere to protect the construction equipment, as this is not a popular new neighborhood among Moab locals. There's even some petroglyphs right along the road where homes will go.
We hike up the Amasa back alternate, over a ridgeline popular with mountain bikers and OHV traffic. The navigation at first is straight forward, but when it came to going down the other side into a canyon things got tricky. There are no trail signs, there are no cairns, and there's hardly any path to follow down this steep rock chute.
Along the Hayduke trail you won't find many trail angels like you would on other thru hikes like the Appalachian Trail, Pacific Crest Trail, or Arizona Trail. On the Hayduke you are mostly alone, sometimes for many days not seeing anyone else, and even in towns people hardly know what you're doing. Fortunately there is at least one trail angel on this hike, Tom of Moab Basecamp Adventure Lodge, which is located near Hurrah Pass. It's an off grid resort outside of Moab, offering a disc golf course, off roading, canyoneering, hiking in canyons, paddling in the Colorado River, or anything else you want. Tom is a really cool guy and welcomes Hayduke thru hikers to come get some water. He has up to date information on water reports from up ahead, and really was pivotal for us!
We found out that from Moab Basecamp Adventure Lodge it would be 36 miles until the next reliable water source. This is typically not the case, and for hikers who started just two weeks ahead of us it was much better. Normally there are a couple streams, and likely potholes in between here and there, but those have since dried up. Some water does remain in the canyons ahead, but it's all alkaline, or tastes like salt and will make us sick.
We filled up 6 liters of water each for the 36 miles, even though we should have upwards of 8 or even 10 to play it safe. Fortunately we got lucky with weather and it would be cold and windy, cloudy, with intermittent rain all day. That made our lives a lot easier. If it was a normal desert temperature, we would have been toast with just 6 liters here.
The next section takes us past chicken corner and into Lockhart Canyon and cliffs on our way to canyonlands national park. Excited for the Needles District to come!

Thank you for watching!! This was a fun section, despite the extra long dry stretch. A beginning to the Hayduke showing its teeth 🙂
Which app actually shows the hayduke trail?
Nothing brightens my day like a new JupiterHikes video 😄
I am glad you are tackling this trail for us, because I am not sure I will ever attempt it myself, due to the lack of resources. Thank you for doing what you do, so we can enjoy the things we may not be able to ourselves, for whatever reasons. We love the channel, we love you. Happy trails and stay safe friend.
You two seem so calm and relaxed in the face of significant hiking challenges. You have remarkable mental strength. Few have it. Which really is what makes you successful.
I'm glad you have Sprocket it would be dangerously and scary alone. :)
Desert travel in Utah is my favorite. I love traversing canyons, finding water, and walking across benches to the next canyon.
Fantastic!! Looking forward to the next section. Thank you...
I wish I was 20 years younger. Great stuff Jupiter
10 liter water carries! Done that before and it’s type 2 fun for sure.
Love these! Sprocket is my new hero.
I think sprocket thrives on these kinds of difficult things! Thank you!
This was a fascinating hike. I love this region of the US and a "grand traverse" like the Hayduke is something I'd love to do. I find it interesting that you downloaded multiple GPX files and found such divergence - to me it goes with the terrain. If their is no fixed trail as such, then it's all down to reading the terrain and making your own way. And of course, each party does so, andthe end result is a multitude of unique routes. I myself have never hiked with GPX - I just take old-fashioned paper maps and navigate using these. I look forward to the following episodes.
This is amazing, and way beyond what I'd ever do, but it is still so inspiring. If anything, my hikes are getting more mellow, incorporating more of an historical element. But what you guys are doing is an incredible challenge. Hats off to you!
Just excellent - all of it - videos, information, you really get the soul of your thru-hikes across to your viewers! I try to either start or end my day watching them, puts my mind in a good space.
Yowza! Navigating the canyon descents and ascents looked very challenging. It, however, looked beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Hello 👋 my outdoors friend, thank you for sharing your outdoor adventure. It's good that you were able to ration your water. All the best to you. Stay safe out there. 😊
This looks increible. Amazing shots. Thank you for capturing your adventures for us!
Hahaha. The way you were looking at her bottles when you said she had 2.5 liters. Hahahahhahha
This is right up your alley! I'd be afraid to strike off in that kind of terrain with water so far away.
Jupiter! Awesome video! Here's a video topic request: All of your thru hikes ranked by difficulty! I'm very curious to know how the GDT, GET, and Hayduke compare.
I think about this topic all the time! I kind of want to do it after the CDT tho as I feel that is kind of a big missing piece in my own hiking which would be interesting to compare with some of these others!
That looks like an awesome place to be alone and enjoy solitude. I’m looking forward to enjoying some environments like that in the future.
My shoulders would have given out with the weight of the load you had through that 35 mile segment. Well done both of you.
Yeah boyyyyyyy
What a beautiful series so far! You always bring that chill Jupiter vibe and artist's eye! I would not have felt at all chill attempting parts of this section! Yikes!
In a word: beautiful.
Well planned, many inputs for trail info keeping everyone safe.Beautiful video and editing
You got some really gorgeous shots! I bet you got super inspired on this hike for some paintings, Jupiter.
You guys crushed those scrambles btw! Epic!
Listen, this is ridiculous! Jupiter, your 100%, for ME, on my Mt. Rushmore. I don’t give a damn what anybody says, you’re a stud man!! How did you carry 6 liters of water? U said you would have carried 8L or more, how then would you have carried 8L of water? Dixie is also on my Rushmore, I love her!! Cheers mate!
I have four liters worth of water bottles and then a two liter water bladder, kept inside my pack for six total. I *should* have had another two liter bladder on top of that for this hike to be safer!
The most I carried on the AZT was 4 liters and the furthest I went was 17 miles between water. Wow that answers my question 6 liters only. I'd have tried to hike it all in one go although I have never done over 35 miles in a single day.
Those are some amazing looking landscapes and rock formations! Stunning! Thanks for sharing.
I'm super excited for this series. Been waiting for it!! This trail looks so amazing and treacherous and beautiful
Great video! It would be so cool to hear how to plan videos, film, and edit, unless you’ve already put that info out and I just couldn’t find it!
Jupiter would you consider sending a link to the different GPS tracks both you and Sproket had downloaded? Potentially on a post trail video or resource guide video? I ask as someone who has aspirations of doing the Hayduke trail but although living in utah for some time has had a hard time seeking and digesting preexisting resources while trying to reach a better understanding of the trail.. Congrats on completing a long desired trail and personal challenge, well done!
Absolutely amazing nice sound guys I recommended you visit the himalayan mountains k2 and Nangaparbat view point from one place moses peak Gilgit-Baltistan Barah Valley. Add this sound in your bucket list.
Really enjoying this, love the way you narrate the videos! Looking forward to the next one!
Awesome hike. One of my favorite places in the world. Moab used to be a quaint funky town. It tries to be but has changed.
So wish I had a backpacking partner. That looks amazing.
Always good, Jupiter. Thanks. Looking forward to all the videos.
Yo you gotta do Inidan Creek. That's the real shit in Moab. All other places are flooded with tourists and this is the only area just few people know. (also a mecca for rock climbing)
Yay! Wonderful journey so far.
Looks like a fun section - challenging but not terrifying. Thanks for the reminder about gps tracks!
what a challenge! You timed that carry perfectly.
Great series guys. I love how "unimproved" this trail is. Cheers!
This is awesome 😎 👍🏽👍🏽. I'm watching your video and some other couples videos all on the same trail together you've probably even crossed paths but that's neither here nor there. What's interesting is how each couple solves issues !!
Some people get their information from different sources. One couple made a fairly serious water carry bad choice based on information that they had gotten. And if it hadn't been for a small little pool of alkalinity water one cup of probably wouldn't have made it or they would have had to hit the panic button.
Love your narration 🤠👍🏽
Those potholes of water in the rock? They are referred to as TINAJAS. Cool word that I got from all my Edward Abbey reading.
Thanks and now I have Mondays to look oh so forward to. Sprocket and Jupiter's grand adventure. Good walking to you both
Digging this so much!
That's some tough terrain; Sprocket's an impressive hiker. Her size proportionate to yours's makes everything more difficult. Does Australia have similar areas?
Good question! It's a huge country, about the same size as the US. Much of it is desert and there are similarities to there as to what you see here, but in much smaller doses. Smaller areas that are close in color and landscape, just nothing that would equate to an 800 mile hike through such things
The heysen trail.
@@hunter-ct9ky Wow that looks cool. If my math is right it's 745 miles starting on the coast at Cape Jervis and ending at Parachilna Gorge. Have you hiked it?
@Go-zi1py I have only done some sections of it, not very much but I liked what I saw. I've spent some time in Flinders ranges national Park, its the north end of the trail. It's quite an amazing place.
Also check out the larapinta trail. Australia has alot of other hidden places that people barely visit.
Great video ! Hey what brand of pack does sprocket carry ? And has she ever done a video of " what's in her pack " ? What does she carry ? That pack looks pretty cool ! Is it the same brand as yours ? Thank you !
👍🐿👍happy happy trails Yall.
Awesome!
What does Sprocket sleep on? Any loadout gear videos of her kit?
The trail looks incredible. So peaceful and stunning
She typically uses the same pad that I do! But often prefers a warmer quilt than I do
Thanks for uploading, Jupiter. Did you get bothered by bugs, snakes etc at night?
Sweet video! Beautifully captured! What camera setup did you use?
How'd that Columbia shirt work out?
where r your trekking poles ?
He's done most of his hikes without.
tell me "Y" u r doing this 1 mor x !!!!! looks RUF 😢
Don't laugh at me... Why do you have to go up and then down, across and then back up and down the other side??? Isn't there a way to walk around them instead of going up and down??? (IN MY DEFENSE I WAS BORN IN MICHIGAN IN 1965 and have lived here 59 years so I am clueless about this )
Hey Sue that's a great question! Many of these canyons are riddled with side canyons, sometimes hundreds or thousands branching off in every possible direction. Walking around could mean not just one, but another, and another and .... days later and you could still be doing this. Alternatively, it could just be extremely boring do 'go around' when going through is much more interesting. Afterall, we are out here for the experience, for the intensity, for the exploration! Going around, may be more akin... to just taking a car from Arches to Zion opposed to all that we get to experience by doing this one foot.
