I hope to try to make it to Wigwam Park next year. That climb along the creek would have been much easier if it weren't for the overgrowth. Thanks for your comments!

Thanks for your comments! When I first went online to find out information about that trail, all I could find was a short blurb about it on a Hanging Lake description. I think that's the ultimate problem: the Forest Service probably doesn't bother maintaining the trail since the VAST majority of visitors just go up to the lake. Sorry to hear about your hand! At least the views of Glenwood Canyon are nice...

Chairs gone
We hiked this route in June 2008 and are happy to report that the chairs are no longer at the overlook. Although we could have used them. This hike from TH to Wigwam Trail junction is BRUTAL! About 2,000 ft. eleveation up to saddle, then 1,000 ft. down to junction. The camping was wonderful near the beaver ponds. At least going back the next day was mostly downhill. Great pictures!

Agreed!
I wish I'd read this before I decided to try Dead Horse. I got my hand sliced up a bit coming back down on the second bungee cord - the one that goes up the cliff. In addition to a buddy (or small group), I'd also say to bring some gloves.

Lawn Chair?
Why is there a lawnchair at the lookout? Isn't this a wilderness area? Leave no trace and all that. COEngineer

I was in Zion in March 2007 and i going back in March 2008. I am not much of a hiker due to 2 bad knees.

Wow Dave!
I had to take a few deep breaths just looking at your photos-- with these views, I can see why you've become an obsessive Colorado hiker. Next stop-- the peaks of the world!

Beautiful Hiking
Wow, those pictures are great! I love the Pacific Northwest (where I live) but I don't think anything can beat the Rockies. Those waterfalls are paradise!

all day challenge
My brother-in-law and I started at Coffee Pot Campground at sun up heading down Wagon Gulch to Dead Horse hoping to reach I-70 with our mountain bikes. Having reached the rim of the canyon after lunch, the secret path to easy coasting on to Glennwood Springs did not materialize. We handed bikes overhead up landslide for hours. Up, back up, finally finding cell signal at the farm implement up there somewhere. Our girls came and got us after sundown. He was a marine and I was an airborne paratrooper fifteen years before. This is definitely a do not do it without brass. What a memory!
