Adventure Sports in Moab, Utah

My drive ended in Moab, Utah, where I spent a few days hiking in Arches National Park and rafting on the Colorado River.

These little guys were everywhere



I saw a few little bunnies while out hiking in the more secluded sections. I also saw an enormous jackrabbit but it ran away before I could get a picture.

Utah Road Trippin'

After Zion, I drove across Utah, with a stop at snowy Bryce Canyon National Park.

More Bryce Canyon



The snow stopped and the clounds parted long enough for me to take this



And this (both at Bryce Canyon still)







Road trippin' in Southern Utah (the last one reminds me so much of Patagonia!)

Zion National Park

I took a "quick" two week vacation to Utah in early June 2007 between spring and summer semesters. My first stop was Zion National Park for four days of great hiking.

View from the top of Angels' Landing Trail - worth every step



This is a good view of Angels' Landing - the trail went right up the spine of that mountain in the center of the picture



Paradise in the Zion Canyon Narrows

One of the complaints I get is that I don't post pictures of myself. Well here's one, hiking down the Narrows.
