    PRELUDE to SEVEN SLOTS: FILLING and SUBSEQUENT MODIFICATION of SEVEN BROAD CANYONS in the NAVAJO SANDSTONE, SOUTH-CENTRAL UTAH by David B

    PRELUDE TO SEVEN SLOTS: FILLING AND SUBSEQUENT MODIFICATION OF SEVEN BROAD CANYONS IN THE NAVAJO SANDSTONE, SOUTH-CENTRAL UTAH by David B. Loope1, Ronald J. Goble1, and Joel P. L. Johnson2 ABSTRACT Within a four square kilometer portion of Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, seven distinct slot canyons cut the Jurassic Navajo Sandstone. Four of the slots developed along separate reaches of a trunk stream (Dry Fork of Coyote Gulch), and three (including canyons locally known as “Peekaboo” and “Spooky”) are at the distal ends of south-flowing tributary drainages. All these slot canyons are examples of epigenetic gorges—bedrock channel reaches shifted laterally from previous reach locations. The previous channels became filled with alluvium, allowing active channels to shift laterally in places and to subsequently re-incise through bedrock elsewhere. New evidence, based on optically stimulated luminescence (OSL) ages, indicates that this thick alluvium started to fill broad, pre-existing, bedrock canyons before 55,000 years ago, and that filling continued until at least 48,000 years ago. Streams start to fill their channels when sediment supply increases relative to stream power. The following conditions favored alluviation in the study area: (1) a cooler, wetter climate increased the rate of mass wasting along the Straight Cliffs (the headwaters of Dry Fork) and the rate of weathering of the broad outcrops of Navajo and Entrada Sandstone; (2) windier conditions increased the amount of eolian sand transport, perhaps destabilizing dunes and moving their stored sediment into stream channels; and (3) southward migration of the jet stream dimin- ished the frequency and severity of convective storms.

    Coyote Gulch, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Utah, Spring Break 2009

    Coyote Gulch, Glen Canyon National Recreation Area, Utah, Spring Break 2009 This year, Jen and I decided to revive a tradition begun in our early years together: a yearly Spring Break trip to southern Utah’s desert country. The success of last year’s May excursion to Canyonlands National Park made us anxious to return. This time we started further west in Zion National Park, where we spent two nights and a day hiking the awesome (though busy) trails in Zion’s famous Virgin River Canyon. We then made our way east, breaking up the three hour drive to Escalante, Utah with a day hike in Bryce Canyon National Park. From there, a thirty-one mile drive on a dirt road got us to the Coyote Gulch trailhead, where we set out on a three night backpack the next morning. Coyote Gulch is a tributary of the Escalante River and is a part of the massive Glen Canyon National Recreation Area (GCNRA). The GCNRA borders the Escalante- Grand Staircase National Monument (created by Bill Clinton in his final days in office) to the west and Capitol Reef National Park to the northeast. Other wilderness study areas, unpopulated national forest lands, and national parks are nearby (as the crow flies anyway) making this region the most Wilderness-soaked of any in the lower forty-eight. For the desert hiker used to the well-worn trails of Arches, Bryce, Zion, and Canyonlands National Parks, Coyote Gulch is a different experience. From our start at the Redwell Trailhead, we followed the canyon downstream for two days.
