River Canyon Lodge Inn & Suites Moab

... area.<br><br>In the afternoon we dediced to go up the road from our RV camp into the hills because we could see they had built houses up there and wanted to see what the view was from there. To our surprise we found Sand Trail 4x4 park. It is run by the city and is over 7000 acres of extreme trails for bicycles, motorbikes and Jeeps. Terry found one that looked easy...Fins &amp; Things but to start you had to go ver a short rock and then up a larger rock. We ...

... to see the delicate arch etc. It was so hot (+100f) man we mean hot! we walked less than a mile and at the end soaked ourselves at the water taps !!!! Then we went to Canyonland NP. It was very different!!!! Even though it was only 40 minutes away by car. The view from the top of the Mesa 10,000 feet above sea level was overwhelming. Down below ...

... sightseeing plane with Slickrock Air. This NP is difficult to see much of from the roads and overlooks. It is so huge that parts of it are a hundred miles apart. We will post pictures from the air.<br><br>Afterwards in Moab, we hiked uphill more than ½ mile to a large span of Indian Pictographs and Petroglyphs at Courthouse Wash, an Arches site on Rt.191. What's the difference? Petroglyphs are scratched into the desert varnish of the rock with a sharp instrument; pictographs are ...

... very low on fuel and we told him gas was 19 miles back for him or 25 miles ahead of him. He took off the longer route and we hope he made it. Finally home a bit after 7 and we both 'grazed' for dinner. The new Jeep preformed great, though it sound like it is laboring to climb anything where the Cherokee just breezed right up stuff. May 18th- first thing this morning we took the Cherokee over to Joe West to have the tow stuff taken off. Then home for breakfast and take Charlie to the ...

... biegt man um die Ecke und es ist atemberaubend! Der riesige Steinbogen<br>und dahinter die Kulisse des schneebedeckten Sal-Gebirges - wie aus<br>einem Kitschfilm.<br>Am naechsten Tag war ich dann noch im suedlichen<br>Tal vom Canyonlands, der durch den Colorado River vom noerdlichen<br>komplett getrennt ist. Er ist flacher generell, nicht so zerklueftet,<br>und hat dafuer ganz viele 'Needles', wie Nadeln aussehende<br>Steinformationen. Eine sehr schoene aussichtsreiche Wanderung.

... Vantage and of course the varied cracks of Squamish, so we couldn't wait to taste this experience! What we found, for those of you who have yet to sample this splitter heaven, is that rating system is not based on the hardest move like all the other areas we've been to, but rather based on the size of the crack and length/endurance of the ...

... er wel erg slecht bijligt. Stef gaat eerst te voet op prospectie en besluit het dan toch maar niet te doen. Het is al 16u en het is nog erg ver tot Moab en als er iets gebeurt (platte band, een darmpje afrijden, ...) dan kan dat een erg groot probleem worden want hier is geen bereik met de telefoon en je weet niet of er vandaag nog iemand anders deze weg gaat nemen. We keren dan maar terug en wanneer we bijna terug op de hoofdweg zijn, kruist er ons een andere jeep. Als we ...

... left. So far left, in fact, that we hit a rock, got stuck, and then the force of the current pulled us over and into the water. Fortunately, our plan for getting out of the boat worked fine and both Mike and I popped up above water within seconds. But here was where we made our big mistake--instead of staying with the boat (which I should have done), we decided that I should try to swim over to the shore on the right. But the current was too strong and I ...
