early Spring Moab trip
We just got back from Moab and figured I'd post a few pics... The 1st pic is looking down from the road to Gemini Bridges. The 2nd is looking down into Bull canyon from the top of Gemini Bridges.

Bull Canyon and Gemini Bridges
Here's a couple more pics. The lower picture was taken in Bull Canyon. The trail lead to the bottom of Gemini Bridges. The upper picture is of the twin arches known as Gemini Bridges. Last time I was here, you could drive your rig across the top of at least one of the arches. Now you have to walk in a little ways to see them. Both Bull Canyon and Gemini Bridge trails can be done with a stock vehicle. Very Scenic though!!

Moab- Rose Garden Hill
I think they should rename this hill Rock Garden! 
I never saw a rose bush anywhere, but there were plenty of big boulders growing out of the dirt! I even had to rearrange the rocks in a few spots, as they seemed to congregate in places that left me with tires hopelessly spinning in the air (even with the locker engaged).

Moab Bound
The jeep's running good and we're taking off tomorrow. 
As for the Easter Safari, I enjoy the action around town, but don't care much for the runs.
The pace is too slow for me. Also hate the jacked up hotel rates and long waits at restaurants. If this is your 1st safari though, you'll have a good time!

More Moab "Steel bender" pics..
The trail is just outside of Moab, and has interesting/challenging terrain and plenty of awesome scenery.

moab pics from Steelbender
I have a great time every trip down there.... even when I break something!
I tore the ears off my driveshaft on Poison Spider Mesa this time.... but it just gives me another reason to go down there, so I can try out my new custom driveshaft!

Nice pics. I really want to get up there with the Jeep sometime. I've been "through" there a few times, but just passing through on the highway. Need to take the XJ and spend a few days. Looks like a blast.
