A few Trip updates - Moab

We went to Moab over the Memorial Day Holiday for some riding. Moab just rocks (ha! It's moslty rocks!) - for the outdoor enthusiast, there's a lot to do: Mt biking, hiking, canyoneering, rock climbing, kayaking/canoeing, MX-Jeep/ORV trails. We even saw handgliders on cliffs - crazy cool. There's a lot of evidence of history there: dinosaur tracks and native American drawings.

There are two National Parks in Moab, both of which are vastly different: Arches and Cayonlands. Furthermore, Zion and Bryce are close, which makes this area of the country heavily concentrated with fabulous rock outcropings and formations so unique that they became National treasures. I'll steal a few pics as mine never do justice...

So...onto our pics. We rode White Rim, a 20 mile long downhill tour through the Canyonlands down to the Colorado River where we picked up a jet boat back to town. Great trip! Then we did a jaunt out at Slickrock and on to Klondike Bluffs, Crystal's favorite.
