Moab Rain & Shine

Nine of us headed down to Moab for the weekend. Friday Ben and I left early to be able to ride Slick Rock. We only had time for part of it but the 6 miles we rode was spectacular! When we started looking for a camping site everything was booked. With the suggestion from my brother-in-law we found a site just past the Slick Rock trailhead. It was perfect at that time. Thanks Krehl!

Porcupine Rim was a fantastical ride. We started in the pouring rain heading uphill along slick rock and mud. The uphill was a killer for me but of course slow and steady got me to the top. The view was amazing and our lunch hit the spot. We had two in our group that hadn't ridden much and they both rocked this trail. During the ride we had moments of sun & rain. Just before the worst storm we had a few miles in the sun. Felt great!

When we saw the storm moving in, it looked like a wall of doom coming right at us. It rained cats & dogs, thundered, and lightning. We hid under a rock and waited until the worst part past. The last part of the trail was a trip. It was single track along the rim of the Colorado River. Gorgeous!!!



After church we hiked Delicate Arch and visited Landscape Arch and Wall Arch. I didn't wear sunblock and got fried. Our group was amazing - we all pitched in with food, driving, and crashes. We kept each other laughing. Thanks groupies!!!
