It was fairly easy during Safari this year. They kept talking about some section that other than a tight turn was basic. I'm sure a few sections got interesting after the storms which would have been fun but I too have my fears that the NPS will overcompensate. I hate what happened to Gemini Bridges.

Looks like the hike at one end of the Elephant Hill trail.

Trail writeups and GPS tracks for many of the scheduled trails can be found here:

A lot of the photos are from previous Fall Flings. It would be nice if someone could add trails that we are missing, like Klondike Bluffs, La Sal Loop & Pritchett Canyon.

Thanks as always Alex. I'm surprised that I didn't look for those (Klondike/La Sal Loop) and send them to you already.

Please everyone check updates on my original post as I will be adding information as we go. Latest updates are that the NPS will allow us 15 vehicles on the Elephant Hill run and we are working to have a dinner/slideshow Friday night.

it's closed to vehicles, no more driving on the arches, now you gotta park off the main rd and hike in

Basically that's it. I never drove on the bridges but I liked the little section to get down to them/close. What makes me mad is that they have in effect reduce access for those who can't walk down that distance to see them. I see that as a violation for handicap access. Then to top it off they graded a big parking lot off the road.

just so i have this right the vehicle registraion is a one time deal. then to run any of the trails listed above at those specific times with 
it will cost $5 per trail per day, so if i run a trail every day with it will cost me $45 total?
I know Hells Revenge and elephant hill will cost to get into the park but do any of the other trails cost additional?
Will we pay and sign up for all the trails up front or each morning we just show up and everyone who is there that morning for that trail will run it (except elephant hill)?

Correct it's $20 registration (this is the fee
gets) and $5 per trail per day (this is the fee that goes to the Bureau of Land Management). Then there's t-shirts ($17/$18 each) and Friday night dinner ($10 per person) if you want.Sand Flats Recreation Area for official trail runs is only subject to the BLM fee. Elephant Hill is only subject to the Park Entrance Fee.
Trail signup and fees will be done at Slickrock Campground cabin #7. In the event someone shows up they can pay the leader assuming they have already passed safety.

No further fees are necessary at Sands Flats. The trail leader should have presented a copy of the BLM permit and told the ranger how many vehicles he was bringing in.
MJR knew that.
