MORE MOAB




I thought I'd post a few more shots of Moab. These are all taken near the Sovereign Trail. We found an enormous flat slab of rock -perhaps five square miles - and took a bit of detour. It is hard to judge the scale of the landscape and rockscape from these photos, but I do think they give an idea of the impressive array of colors and textures that greet the eye in greater Moab. The top two photos feature Carl Hyndman, sussing out and then riding through a rock chute. In the third photo, Charles and Chris guard our bikes against possible predators. And the fourth photo depicts the rockscape. From the nearby hillside this rock slab looked like a big pan of biscuits. I guess I may have been hungry.
