I totally rely on my 7.5 topos and recommend them. None of the hikes you list are terribly difficult--no scrambling, no exposure. Road access should be good in September. I don't have any more information on West Clark Bench other than what's in Earthline. You should see awesome fins in Pink Pocket. I have explored Comb Ridge thoroughly over 20 years but I feel SE Utah is too sensitive to include in public writing. You are going to have a wonderful trip.

Your photo-journal and topo map will help out and are needless to say are very inspiring. The areas we plan to hike are Wire Pass and Buckskin Gulch "up canyon," West Clark Bench, Wahweap Hoodoos, Cobra Arch, Broken Bow Arch, Yellow Rock, Willis Creek, Mule Canyon South, Comb Ridge and if we can find a reputable Navajo guide, Poncho House Ruins and Chinle Wash area. We have a busy day hike schedule for our 9 days, but I've selected what I believe to be relatively easier and varied hikes because my wife likes to hike and is getting better, but some hiking situations still scare her and I have to coax her along. Does anyone have any info on the West Clark Bench area? We wanted to hike around the beautiful sandstone fins etc. in that area. Thank you for your article. Any suggestions on navigating better any of these areas or situations to beware of is much appreciated...<br />Ed Burns Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
