More Moab Labor Day weekend

[Pathrat]

I have never been praised for my navigational skills, and now one more person can attest to my lack of direction. Josh and I, and our respective passengers, my Gatemonkey, Josh's girls and brother in law, made our way through half of Sevenmile Rim. We did some parts more than once! I took more pictures, but my camera and I did not record some of the images I took. There was a pretty cool large shelf, slick rock, sand, steps... The canyon overlook was scenic, and we found a great arch, Uranium Arch. I do like this trail. There are a few challenges, like the steep descent to the arch that I opted out of, and great scenery.

3D Jeep Trail- Yes, we did most of this trail, and found a nice, narrow goat path to make our exit. I think that this trail has been recently created and is part of Bartlett/Hidden Canyon trails. It is not in the Wells book, nor my Utah guide. The Bartlett/Hidden Canyon trails are documented but all the signage is for 3D. The area to the north and west of Moab is a great area to get lost in...really. We did. I don't particularly care for going down a shelf that breaks like a shot going off on my passengers side while I hug the steep, shale-like path on the driver's side, watching the mesquite gouge my paint job. It was a lot of fun, and if we did not have to meet relatives for dinner, I would have finished the 3D loop instead of trying to find our way out based on four maps, a GPS and two guide books.
The trail has a number of shelf/steps and some fear-factor climbs. Good expanses of slickrock too. Hopefully Hugh will have video this weekend. I will recommend this trail and try it again when I have more time and navigational information.

JeepersCreepers- GREAT SHOTS! I love the scenic ones you took and the one of my truck where you cannot see me hanging out to see the position of my wheels.
