It's hard to tell in the photo but was there a tow rope between you and that Land Rover?

The second day we ran the Shafer Switchbacks Trail. The trail is mostly easy, but the scenery is spectacular. There is a downhill with the switchbacks that can be dangerous if brakes and steering are not in good shape.

Maybe some day .......

I want to give props to the guys at Poison Spider Bicycles as they offer shower facilities for those camping (or biking). The showers were VERY reasonable in my opinion at $5 for 5 minutes, and it is a well worth commodity to have at the end of the day. We camped everyday in Moab and used these showers almost everyday, too. The only thing to keep in mind is that they close at 7 pm most days.

Get your butt to ABQ or DEN, and we'll make it happen. It should be on everyone's bucket list of places to see in the USA

We also ran a trail called Klondike Bluffs, a mellow trail, but very scenic as well.

Using the E7 table set up on the trail

Totally agree!!!!

We should all do a trip out there sometime.

Did you hike out onto the bluffs? If you go out far enough, you can get to spires that you can jump from one to the next.

Though now that I am older, I do not think I would do that again ...

The end of Klondike Bluffs drops you are the beginning of another short trail (about 10 miles) to the Balancing Rock inside the Arches National Park. On this one I couldn't decide which photos I liked the best, so I am putting them all (despite the fact that they almost look identical haha)

We didn't hike, no. We just ran the entire trail and combined it with the trail that dropped us on the Balancing Rock. From there we later saw the Delicate Arch and went out of the park through the paved road.

We then drove to the Canyonlands National Park to run Elephant Hill which is one of my favorite Trails

And then we took the short hike at the end of the trail to look at the Colorado and Green River Confluence

We also ran about half way of Hells Revenge the day we started to drive back. The little girl on the photo is the daughter of my good friend Ryan.
