Default Moab and the La Sal Mountains

I headed to Moab this weekend so I could pre-run the trail I am leading in October and get it into my GPS.

Here's some pictures from the weekend.

The Klondike Bluffs in the distance


There are a number of dinosaur tracks in the slickrock


Remnants of an old copper mine


Heading down the slickrock




On our way back from Klondike Bluffs we took part of the Copper Ridge trail back to the highway and then stopped by the Gemini Bridges on our way back to Moab.

La Sals in the distance from the Gemini Bridges road

After making it back to town, we stopped at a local book store and then had dinner at Zax, before heading up to our campsite at Lake Oowah in the La Sal Mountains.

Sunday morning we did a little exploring in the La Sal's before heading back home. We started off by heading up Miners Basin and then we went for a short hike at the end of the trail.

After making our way around to the other side of the La Sal's we headed up into Beaver Basin

Headed towards Beaver Basin


We stopped at Don's lake on our way to Beaver Basin

After making our way back down out of Beaver Basin we jumped back on the Gateway Road and headed back to GJ.

I lived in a suburb of Chicago before moving out here. I don't miss it one bit.
