The last week of June, Beth and I packed up the JK and headed up to southern Utah to do a weeks worth of trails. During the week we were in Utah, we logged 403 miles off road in various National and State Parks that have a vast network of back country trails. While we enjoy moderate to slightly difficult trails, there is more to Utah than Moab. We also enjoy just getting out in the back country seeing things most people only get to see in pictures.
I took over 700 pics of our adventure, here are a few taken out on the trails. I hope you enjoy them....
Day one, heading out into the wilderness on a 65 mile trail from Big Water to Escalante, Utah....
We're going to switchback our way 1,000 feet up this wall....
Looking back from where we just came (Lake Powell is off in the distance top center)....
Looking off to the side, still climbing....
Almost to the top....
Made it!! Looking back over my left shoulder....
On the other side of the wall, a moonscape....
Leaving the moonscape behind us....
Muddy Creek on the Wild Horse Mesa Trail. The water was just over my rock rails, right at 22 inches. We made it across the rocky bottom and up the muddy bank on the other side (we almost turned around here, but I was confident the JK could make it up the bank in 4wd low)....
Looking back across Muddy Creek....
The trail got a little rough here....
Going into a narrow canyon....
Another canyon....
Honey comb sand stone walls in the Grand Wash of Capitol Reef NP....
We traveled through many narrow canyons....
Almost to the end of this trail....
Back out on a washboard road 35 miles from the main highway....
Coral Pink Sand Dunes SP, near Kanab, UT on the southwest side of the state. They were getting ready to close, so we didn't have time to ride the dunes....
We did get to play on some hills the next morning....
One of the hills in this OHV area....
