On Top of the World110 viewsFrom my 2008 trip to Moab. We make the mecca here on every Moab trip. You can drive out on the rock and it's about 1200 feet down beneath the rock ledge. Not for the faint hearted or those afraid of heights.airforceret

Delores River Overlook94 viewsLooking out over one of the feeder canyons. BLML warns off roaders to stay off these canyon roads during rainfall due to the overwhelming volume of water that rushes through these canyons. airforceret

Onion Creek Trail114 viewsRule number one, when splashing through creeks, be sure you understand how deep, how much splash, and oh yeah, how wet you really want to get when the doors and top are off! Fortunately, only the CB radio shorted out, and it was warm enough to dry out... that is after wringing out their wet clothes. Was a great splash though! I tought my kid well...airforceret

Long Canyon Trail95 viewsThis is a view looking down into Long Canyon at the top of the trail. We went all the way down to the canyon floor and out the other end. This canyon is off limits during rain.airforceret

Long Canyon Trail102 viewsThis may not seem that narrow, but it was steep and slippery, much more so than the picture makes it look. When it rains, this trail can be flowing with 20 or 30 feet of water raging down it. airforceret

Gemini Bridges102 viewsThere are two arches that are side by side, with just a few feet separating them. Looking down through the arches, is Bull Canyon, another great trail and view looking up at Gemini Bridges. Driving on the arches is prohibited due to the death of a jeeper that fell off, but you can see fresh rubber marks where some still dare to drive out there. I was quite content to just be walking out there, and in fact had to take a seat once when the wind suddenly started blowing about 70 mph.airforceret

Petroglyphs96 viewsThere are several places where you can see the petroglyphs from the road, and some where you can pull over and climb up to see them up close. Some are so small, they are not visible from the road, and it's only after you climb up there you and explore you begin to find them. This was way cool to me! airforceret

Alternate Trails143 viewsSome of the trails offer more fun trails, like this one of my son running up a dried up creek bed. You have to be careful to stay on authorized trails, as some are just where people run where they want to and tear things up.airforceret

Shafer Trail141 viewsLooking back down out the driver's window at some of the switchbacks I had climbed below coming out of Shafer. If we run White Rim this year, we will get to start our morning off at daybreak by going down these switchbacks.airforceretFeb 15, 2009
