Anyone know much about the trails around Hanksville down towards Ticabo/Bullfrog area? See lots of roads heading both into the Henry Mountains and out towards the canyons every year driving to Bullfrog and think I need to explore the area sometime soon.

Tell me all you know.

There is a bunch of trails on the map out there I havn't explored either. I've been over the Henry's several times, a couple different trails up from the south and east side, some I explored once take you near the top but suddenly end at mining property gates, but I've always gone over the north pass (forget the name) and down the same trail on the west side then I have pointed south through Capitol Reef towards bullfrog or headed accross the burr trail to play around near Boulder and Escelante. There is some hiking I'd like to go back and do next time out that way as well, an arch you can hike to thats north of bullfrog I recall and I'd like to stop at the pass and hike to the top of the Henry's.
