Whimsically named for a character in Edward Abbey's The Monkey Wrench Gang, the trail begins in Arches National Park and ends in Zion National Park, stays entirely on public land, and traverses the complete variety of terrain available to hikers on the Plateau short of technical climbing.\u003cbr\u003eJoe Mitchell and Mike Coronella pioneered Hayduke after concluding that a long trail--such as the Appalachian or Pacific Crest-- was possible on the Plateau, thus introducing more people to these unique and threatened public lands. \u003ci\u003eThe Hayduke Trail \u003c\/i\u003eincludes detailed maps of the entire route, suggested cache points, and a wealth of description and tips for tackling this intense undertaking.\u003cbr\u003eHiking the entire route requires at least three months, though like other long trails it can be broken into smaller segments. The guide, featured in the March 2005 issue of National Geographic Adventure Magazine, is designed for experienced desert trekkers seeking a thorough-hiking experience on a well-tested route.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJoe Mitchell moved to Utah in the late 1980s.
