Delores River Overlook93 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

Long Canyon Trail104 viewsAs you can see the rock is significantly larger than a vehicle! BLM warned that only one vehicle should pass beneath the fallen rock at a time, and to maintain a safe distance while vehicles are pass beneath the rock in case the rock should decide to shift and fall. 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

Gemini Bridges100 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

Petroglyphs94 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 Trails138 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
