The third day of the Skinny Tire festival was a rest day for use. Since the dog was around we decided to do some hiking. We've done most of the hikes before but there were still a few new ones to do, so we figured we might as well finish off the list (along with a few repeats). It played out like this.
Fisher Towers hike (a repeat, but always awesome).....
 |
| On the way in to Fisher Towers....the dog can always find shade! |
 |
| Certain sections of the trail required "dog portages"! |
 |
| Still smiling after the portage! |
Portal Hike....
 |
| Yep, straight up the slick rock for pretty much 1000ft! |
 |
| Views of Moab and the La Sal Mountains is your reward! |
|
I don't know why I don't have pictures of this....but this "mountain bike" trail is along the edge (like 2 ft from it) of a 1000 ft cliff. There are signs that warn you 3 riders have died on the trail (well technically they died because the weren't on the trail). There are also multitudes of signs repeatedly warning you to dismount and walk. Basically, it got my adrenaline going just hiking up it! I will not need to revisit this trail for a ride....
The next day was the last day of the Skinny tire festival and back on the bikes....this time it was out Potash road which runs right along the Colorado river and has some amazing Red Rocks!
 |
| Yep...pretty terrible scenery! |
 |
| Yes...it's as warm as it looks and I'm completely overdressed. |
 |
| Back at camp enjoying a book and a beverage before dinner! |
I'll try to get my act together and finish off the trip pics tomorrow.
