This week, I’ll be heading out to some of the National Parks in the Southwestern U.S., including Canyonlands. There’s a detached area of Canyonlands called Horseshoe Canyon, which has some really remarkable ancient rock art, at least 2000 years old. It’s a whole-day trip, to drive out there and spend 5-6 hours hiking.
I’m getting conflicting advice on whether you need a 4WD vehicle to get from Route 24 to the trail head; and it would be a real waste of precious time, to get so close, but not be able to get to the trail head.
So, does anybody know for sure, whether I can make the trip with my compact 2WD rental car? (Yes, I’m looking for a factual answer here, from someone who’s actually been there.)
