Oh what beauty!
We brought home several pieces of petrified wood. Exploring the hillsides was fun.
We headed toward Tombstone Rock under gray clouds. |
The base of Rainbow Rock Rim |
The trail very quickly, and I do mean QUICKLY turned from this...... |
Pearl and Thumper spent the night alone, thank goodness, at the location Dee has now dubbed Wrangler's Roost. Our hike out took us up, along the crest, and down the hills you see behind the jeeps. |
The now semi dry wash they crawled in and out of. Dee went first... |
driving out of the wash with Steve looking on. |
Jim stayed close by and coached Joe out. |
A successful climb up The Wall and all smiles! (Photo by Dee) It's alot steeper that it looks in this picture. |
Fencing looks much better. |
L to R: Denise, Gracie, Duane, Madison and Peter |
Duane in his awesome jeep! |
Pearl followed them up The Waterfall... |
and up Wedgy... Our first time with no spotter! |
and across the rim... |
to Little Arch... |
and the cave where Gracie and Madison had fun exploring both. |
Barney's Overlook...The air in Moab Valley has been thick and hazy due to the smoke from the wildfires. |
This insect and I had a stare-down as I drank my smoothie! My what big eyes you have! I won as he reluctantly turned and crawled away. |
The girls also found frogs. The ripples and shadows look like there is water here, but it was very dry. |
My what big feet you have! |
Dee's picture shows them flyin' perfectly over the first hill on the track right in front of us! |
And with a perfect landing! |
We drove down Wedgy too! No pictures of us as I was too excited to get out and take them! |
