I was watching the weather for a week prior to a planned southern Utah trip. Fall in the desert is quite unpredictable. Especially in Utah... Sun to snow in a matter of hours...What did it look like? The weather window was looking about perfect. Highs in the 70s and Lows in the 40s...Excellent!
The plan was pretty loose...Head south of Hanksville and explore some places, look for rock art, take a few hikes, and enjoy Fall in the desert. My friend Dave and I rolled out in his well equipped LC 100. I have to admit...It was nice to be a copilot for a trip. Dave was gracious enough drive and enjoyed putting his 2006 LC 100 to the test.

A nice lunch stop...Black Dragon Canyon

Dave's dog, Mac, spotting out the next place to visit...


Signs of the past? The canyon art is fun to find and interpret.

Signs of the past? Nahhh...An artist of today displaying their version of rock art. It was crazy but we saw at least 5 boulders with various pictures painted on them.

Dave's well-equipped LC 100...Look closely and you will see a place you should visit the next time you are in Moab.

Making our way to the objective of the day--Happy Canyon. The trail follows an old mining road. A great hike with tremendous views! The Dirty Devil drainage felt remote...is remote...


A few ancient trees...Now rock...
Coming next...Happy Canyon
