Davis Gulch Hike

Davis Gulch is a narrow, winding side canyon of the Escalante arm. Bement Arch is in the upper canyon and La Gorce Arch is lower down. Artist Everett Ruess was last known to be here in 1934; searchers found his burros and a 'NEMO 1934' inscription in the gulch. Reach it by boat via the Escalante arm or hike in from the lower Hole-in-the-Rock Road, and carry enough fuel and supplies, since it is far from marinas.
