Moab

We took a weekend trip to Moab in March with Garret, Misty, Steve, and Noah. The first thing we did was head up Kane Creek Road, and go to explore Moon Flower Canyon. Steve and Bryce climbed the ladder that was built by those Ancient Indians who left all the hieroglyphs.






Then we went exploring up the trail.


Misty, Noah and I waited while Bryce and Steve kept going farther up the trail to explore more.


After we checked into our hotel, we went and found one of the many hummer tour companies, and took an afternoon hummer tour. There were only 2 other people other than our group who went on the tour with us. If I remember right, we went on Hell's Revenge trail. This picture is of Lion's back, which you can no longer wheel on. The tour guide told us that there is a Toyota 4runner stuck in the crack between Lion's back (on the left of the picture) and the rock.


We took a couple pictures on our first stop. Here is Steve and I.


And our whole group. Steve, Garret, Noah, Misty, Bryce and I.


Bryce took this picture, it is supposed to look like we had no brakes. Really we were parked on that hill.


This picture is a little deceptive. There is a rock that sits on a big edge, and if you "LAY" on it, and put your feet in the air, it looks like you are hanging from a cliff.



After the hummer tour, we went to dinner, and for the life of me, I can't remember the name of the restaraunt. But, it was good. Bryce and Steve both got the M.O.A.B. (Mother of all Burritos) and decided to have a contest. They were really big burritos, they filled the whole plate.


Eventually though, they both surrendered. Neither of them could finish theirs. (Notice the white flags they made with their napkins?)




On Sunday morning, we headed out, but stopped and saw some of the Arches first. Our first stop was Balancing Rock.




Then we stopped at Windows (North and South Window Arch)


And Turrett Arch.


Our last stop was Delicate Arch, although we didn't do the trail up to the Arch. For two very good reasons. 1, I was pregnant, and already very very worn out, and 2, Garret and his wheelchair. Although, Bryce, Steve and Garret took the short trail to get a little closer, and Bryce and Steven ended up carrying Garret and his wheelchair up the stairs. (With a little help from some guy who just happened to be nice enough to offer his help.) Garret admitted it was crazy of them to even try it. They were all pooped when they got back down.


Misty, Noah and I waited at the view point for them. Yes, it was very cold, and yes, I know the gloves are a bit goofy, but hey, it was all I had in my car.
