Jogging down the hill we got right into the hoodoos and just started playing around. Threading between rocks, hiding, climbing and running to yet another alien-looking geological oddity.
We eventually made our way east over to the red and white cliffs. As the canyon (of sorts) narrowed we went north and found a route up to the white layer. There was a even a cave in there.
Then we went south a ways skirting the orange cliffs and exploring and playing as we went. We came back for lunch 2-3 hours later.
In the visitors center is a map showing two more valleys south of the one shown bellow. Yeah, there's a lot to explore.
Kade and Kara playing on the rocks.
One bizarre rock formation after another.
It was Rachel's 16th birthday - I think she had fun.
Yeah, I'm into parkour.
After climbing up, this is the view to the east.
What planet is this again?
With spring break there were a lot of people there, but it's a big place and we had plenty of fun.
Next up, Little Wildhorse Canyon.
One of my favorite places to go when I was a kid. Awesome pics. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeletebtw... other than slick rock what's your favorite trails in Moab?
Sovereign is my #2.
ReplyDelete#3 is Porcupine Rim, even though it has it's flaws. I hear the Upper Porcupine Singletrack is fantastic, and it would probably be my #3, but I haven't done it yet (yes, for shame).
Klondike Bluffs with baby Steps is fun.
A lot of people like Amasa Back (I've only done the first little bit, we had problems that day).
Bartlet Wash is a slickrock playground.
Thanks Kris. Appreciate it.
