I have Been Gone for a while. another Navy deployment down last one I think/Hope.

What is the story about getting a permit to run Coyote Canyon?

Thanks

Call the Moab BLM field office and they will tell you exactly how to get a permit, etc. You can do it over the phone for the most part.

It's not tough but the rules are ridiculous. We had to be on the trail by 9:00 a.m. last Friday morning, and we were driving from Highland and Orem, which made for an early morning. We had to be off by 5:00 but that wasn't a problem. It only took us an hour or so and we played hard. The trail is definitely worth the effort, but the rules are dumb.

On the trail by 9 am? That is weird. Not a big deal just weird.

Kind of off the wall question. Would they permit an ATV or a SXS to run the trail?

Thanks,

Zack

You don't have to be on the trail at 9am, just not before 9. You need to be off by 5:00. There is a procedure for going in the next day to recover a disabled rig. ATV's, SXS's, and dirt bikes are not permitted. Here is the link with all the rules and procedures: http://www.blm.gov/ut/st/en/fo/moab/recreation/motorized_routes/coyote_canyon.html

Good to know for next time. I guess the guy that got our permit read it wrong. We could have slept longer. Oh well, we got to play all day in BFE after.
