On Top of the World109 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 viewsThis was taken at he end of the Delores River Overlook trail. It's a long way out to this overlook, so the trail can be a little overgrown at times. If you're not willing to take on a couple scratches, I'd not recommend this trail. However, the view overlooking the river is incredible. There are no rails or safety restraints... you leanna to far, you falla long way! 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

Going Down!103 viewsI remembered a valuable lesson here about approach angles going up vs going down! When I dropped the rear axle off this one, I landed on the rear bumper/hitch. The good news, I knew enough to gas it a little to clear the gas tank that my son insisted i was going to smash (which I"m sure I would have).airforceret

Petroglyphs95 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

Rock Climbing100 viewsIt's not uncommon to see rock climbers along the bluffs too. We stopped and watched this one climb for awhile.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

Dinosaur Tracks115 viewsMy one disappointment, albeit exciting, was the dinosaur tracks! I was expecting something out of Jurassic Park, and as you can see, these tracks are for a pretty scrawny little dino..... These are the one's at the Poison Spider trailhead.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
