Hayduke trail, Backcountry trail in Utah, United States
The 800-mile Hayduke Trail traverses across six national parks, including Arches, Canyonlands, Capitol Reef, Bryce Canyon, Grand Canyon, and Zion National Parks.
The trail received its name from George Washington Hayduke III, a character in Edward Abbey's novel who defended the preservation of public lands.
The trail connects multiple protected areas of the Colorado Plateau, presenting the natural heritage of the American Southwest through diverse geological formations.
Hikers must obtain backcountry permits and carefully plan water supplies, as the route includes limited water sources and requires advanced navigation skills.
The route incorporates sections of established paths, jeep tracks, and unmarked terrain, allowing travelers to explore both National Parks and remote wilderness areas.
