We decided to step out of our safety bubble today and rented a jeep to go to Canyonlands National Park. So much fun and I don’t think we could have seen all the beauty of this park without riding from the top of the canyons to the bottom. The steep switchbacks on the Schafer Trail were outrageous but the view was more than that. The biggest trick is when you meet an oncoming vehicle and have to find the widest point of the road (if you can) and wait. Unbelievable the amount of vehicles which includes bicycles, dirt bikes, jeeps and razors that do this. That reminds me that we waited on a Dune Buggy to pass near the bottom and the driver stopped to thank us and said “there are eight more behind me.” We could have eaten lunch in the amount of time we waited. Well, you can see in these pictures how beautiful it is and the best part is that I only threatened to hurt Cary one time and that was when I was doing a video on the way down and he grabbed the phone to video with one hand and steer with the other – of course that was when the steepest part was on MY side. We also passed the place where they filmed the ending of the movie Thelma and Louise and stopped along the bottom to see the mighty Colorado River and the Indian petroglyphs on the rocks. Nearby is Arches National Park with the popular balancing rock and double arch, but after Canyonlands it was not quite as much as we expected. We had great weather and it was a great day !
