Riding in Moab

Moab is at the centre of a spectacular area of red rocks – on the Colorado River and wedged between Arches National Park and Canyonlands National Park – and has a cornucopia of roads and trails.

Here is a sampling of our experience this weekend. The panorama is a view of the Colorado River valley looking southwest towards Moab. The two photos of the red rock cliff are on a ride to Spring Canyon that takes you across the ledge that looks down into the canyon (that is me on the far end waving and the next photo is a blow up to prove it) After the ledge we rode around the end of the cliff and down to the canyon bottom on a series of switchbacks. The final photo is Mick under a lovely rock overhang we found to shelter from the sun for lunch.
