San Rafael Swell

Elizabeth started talking to us about riding in the San Rafael Swell in Moab this spring.

Well we did some checking, and set up the trip for this fall. Turns out there really ended up being only three of us, and Karyn down with foot recovery, two riders.

We had a great time, Friday night in Green River. Late arrival for us due to travel from Denver after work. Elizabeth was out the day before and warmed up the hotel room for us.

We woke up to some rain, so we didn't hurry out of the hotel, but got to camp around lunch. Just north of the campground was a spot with some Rock Art, so we checked that out.






Elizabeth and I left Karyn in the tent, and rode up the jeep trail next to the river and checked out the great views. We stayed at the San Rafael Bridge campground. Not too many spots, but we were the first ones in, so we got the best spot.



only 3 more sites filled while we were there, one of which the group site.

Check out Window blind peak.



The morning views were spectacular as the sun rose.



Sunday we went north to check out "the wedge" some single track. More to come, These pix are on the gopro, that's going to take some work...
