Moab Trip

We went to Moab around Sept. 25 with Jon's neice's family. The kids favorite part was playing in the sand at camp. Of course we went on two 4 wheeling trails. One of them was a lot harder than expected. In my opinion we went the wrong direction, because the guide book said to come down the trail not up (which is what we tried). If we had come the other way we wouldn't have had the hard section to go up that we were wondering if we would make or not. But it was the most exciting part of that particular road. I guess you can't go 4 wheeling without a section like that.





This road is called Long Canyon and we drove it to Dead Horse Point State Park. It was harder than it looks and of course there was no way around the roughest part.


We went to Dead Horse Point and Canyon Lands They both had very pretty views. Brittany's highlight was looking for lizards. Kylee even found one I had to take a picture of.

These are called Shafer Switchbacks were on the road we took to Canyon Lands. We even passed some bikers riding up the trail. I think I would rather ride down than up on the bikes. We passed one person who was walking his bike up some of the switchback. Of course you don't have to take these roads, but they were there and more fun than the paved roads.


I think the road we drove down to get to our camp site was called Kane Creek Road. On this particular road are cave dwellers. I was amazed that people actually live in these caves. Some of the entry ways looked nicer than others, but I can't imagine that it would cost a whole lot to live there.
