Please feel free to add details & pictures
We met up at the Hwy's 191 & 279 Bridge just outside the north side of town and aired down just enough to take the edge of & keep the fillings in our teeth. This would be a scenic easy mostly 2wd day.
We stopped to look at some petroglyphs just before the trail head. I mentioned that some were real & others were idiots graphetti. Someone made the comment that the ancient people may have felt the same way about the originals. Point taken, but I don't think it will age enough in my lifetime to be appreciated if not several generations later.
Once at the trail head we watered the foliage and took some pictures of jug handle arch.
We worked our way up Long Canyon where we drove through the rock tunnel. The trail was pretty scenic, but the best was yet to come.
We then headed out to the Dead Horse Point State Park. I think most were impressed with the stunning views
.
We took a break and had lunch & explored the area a bit.
DC9 took flight and we were left with 7 Broncos moving forward. Not sure if he realizes what he missed .
After a quick stop at the visitor center, we proceeded to the Shafer Trail Switchbacks. It is a nice narrow shelf road that was a bit steep in a few sections, but the views were amazing. Countless unique & puzzling rock formations. One such was a unique onion shaped rock that looked like it was placed on top of a spire that was of a completely different geological nature.
We worked our way to the Thelma & Louise cliffs. It was yet another spectacular view.
After lining up & taking some group photos, we headed out to the blue potash evaporation ponds.
Shortly there after we had an Elvis sighting at Elvis Rock, though being in a bit of a hurry I didn't get much of a picture of it
We finished up & while a few motored off some of us waited for another to air back up.
Afterwards we proceed to the Old Spanish Trail Arena to sign up for our preferred trail runs the Safari was offering the next day.
it was a fantastic day & great meeting everyone. Thank you all for coming out.
