Exploring Comb Ridge Utah April 2018

This video summarizes an early April 2018 trip to explore the east side of Comb Ridge along what is called Butler Wash, near Bluff Utah.
Bluff, Utah has a few hotel-motels, RV sites with tent sites, a couple good restaurants, and one place to get gasoline and supplies. Comb Ridge Bistro is excellent for coffee and food.
I chose to stay the first night at Sand Island which is very near the south entrance to Comb Ridge. Sand Island is a semi primitive campsite with a nice host family, dry toilets, potable water, fire rings, a few grills, picnic tables and lots of blow sand. If tent camping prepare for the blow sand. Campground was very quite and cost $15/night.
The sites included in this trip were;
Wolfman Panel and Ruins
Big Crane site
Double Stack Ruins
Procession Panel
Monarch Ruin
Cold Spring Ruin
Split Level Ruin
Fishmouth Cave and Ruin
Butler Wash Road was very well graded and did not have to utilize 4WD. Road was much better than the Coyote Gulch road for comparison. Many free, primitive campsites are available along Butler Wash and I felt very safe in this area primarily due to the lack of people.
ATT Cell phone coverage was good in Bluff, Sand Island but was marginal along Butler Wash. Sometimes up on the Comb itself you could get coverage. Deep in the canyons though, even my Garmin GPS failed to pick up any signal and Gaiagps stopped functioning.
By far my favorite locations were Cold Spring Ruin and Procession Panel. All ruins and petroglyph panels were easy to find and get to, except for Procession Panel. I followed the many Procession Panel cairns but one cairn path routed me to a steep approach so had to back track and choose a less sketchy route. Best to drop into the canyon as soon as you can instead of proceeding higher up on top of the Comb.
I did not see much of any wildlife while there. I did see large cat tracks inside Cold Spring Cave and a few in the drainage areas. I did not see any snakes but a snake track of one inside Cold Spring Cave.
All of the area was very clean and just a few instances of vandalism. The hiker pottery "museums" are becoming abundant and would like to discourage people from doing this and leave the sites as you found them.
Weather in early April was amazing. I made sure to time the trip based along no rain forecasts. Temperature was in the high 20s one night and during the day it would warm up to the 70s. Very low humidity so hydration important.
Hard to recommend on how many days you will need. I chose 4 days and this was perfect and allowed me to explore some of the river ruins.
In regard to the video, I chose to include many minutes of driving the Butler Wash road. I wish that this had been available to me prior so I could get an idea what condition the road would be in. I also included "excessive" footage of the Procession Panel. Many people were asking questions about the glyphs and thought this would give people an idea of the "procession" characters.
