I have never seen it like that. Did you have too drive out in mud?

No. It was just perfect lighting with the sun going down and lighting up the rock formations, but not the clouds to the east. We had just a brief light shower. Most of the rain was to the east towards the Island in the Sky area. So no mud for us on this trip. Note the main area of concern when it rains or snows, is the Flint Trail.

That is for sure. There is another flat area beyond the Flint Trail that gets washed out and can get muddy. One time when it was dry my rear tire slipped into a deep wash at the side of the trail there. I just kept my foot on the accelerator and drove sideways for a while until the tire got enough traction to pull out. I warned the people behind me and they got through OK.

Great photo!

This might help anyone who is planning a Maze trip. Last September, I spent 10 nights in the Maze followed with two nights in Poison Springs. Here is my trip log, which started at the dirt 3 or 4 miles south of Green River and ended at the pavement 17 miles south of Hanksville. So the trip log covers the entire time on dirt averaging 10.7 MPG (2.7L 4D Sasquatch).

10 days is legit, well done. Thanks for the specs. Poison Springs Canyon is awesome, we did it years ago with my old 2ng Gen Tacoma & two 4Runners. It’s a great route into the Maze, the beginning looks like a canyon on Mars.
