Utah Places: Muddy Creek

An inelegant name for such a spectacular place. Maybe that's why people stay away in droves. Its easy to get into, and starts out good. The canyon just gets better. Its a one way hike so take water, and go half way, then turn around when you are ready to go home. Be sure you can make it back before dark. Wear shoes that are okay for wading. Be prepared to get wet.  Slipping over rocks is pretty common too. Take a picnic for a side canyon excursion. Flowers can be found at the right time and place.

BLM has some advice for would-be hikers.
