Moab and the La Sal Mountains

[IntrepidXJ]

I headed to Moab this weekend so I could pre-run the trail I am leading in October for the 25th Anniversary event and get it into my GPS.

Here's some pictures from the weekend.

There are a number of dinosaur tracks in the slickrock

Remnants of an old copper mine

Heading down the slickrock

On our way back from Klondike Bluffs we took part of the Copper Ridge trail back to the highway and then stopped by the Gemini Bridges on our way back to Moab.

After making it back to town, we stopped at a local book store and then had dinner at Zax, before heading up to our campsite at Lake Oowah in the La Sal Mountains.

Sunday morning we did a little exploring in the La Sal's before heading back home. We started off by heading up Miners Basin and then we went for a short hike at the end of the trail.

After making our way around to the other side of the La Sal's we headed up into Beaver Basin

After making our way back down out of Beaver Basin we jumped back on the Gateway Road and headed back to GJ.

I think a dinosaur track in rock is just an amazing thing.
