Expedition Leader
In March 2013 my youngest son and myself took a sunny warm 2013 Father/Son day trip to run the Hell's Revenge Trail just east of Moab. As we did not get out alone together too often this was a highly enjoyable day especially for myself. This was the only time my son has done the Hell's Revenge trail though I have done it a number of times. Dad was the photographer/guide and my son Nathan was the designated driver for the day. Moab is only a three hour drive from Montrose, CO where we both live so this warm day in the middle of the week when he was off work enticed us with Spring Fever. With the high snow clad La Sal Mountains looming to the SE this is a beautiful trail to be on. Great views 360 degrees all around of mountains, mesas, cliffs, slickrock, sand, canyons, Colorado River, and desert flora. We just stuck to the main trail plus the short spur out to the scenic overlook above the Colorado River for lunch. Very few people out and about on our solo run. The exception was when we got to the Hot Tubs area where a man had suffered a head injury after rolling his rig in Micky's Tub. When we got there an emergency helicopter was arriving to transport him to the Moab Hospital. Never did hear how his injury turned out but hopefully only a concussion and some blood loss. These pictures are from the TH area to the Hot Tubs area. Always fun when a Dad can take a son out into such beauty as the Hell's Revenge area. My son greatly enjoyed wheeling the steep slickrock mounds and ancient dunes. Here are two trail maps plus some trail pictures. Nothing too exciting but the day is a fond memory for myself.
