MOAB 2010

The Moab adventure. Once again Doug and Lana joined on our annual trip to the desert. First day was quite iffy as we had one of the worst wind storms I can remember. Weather was excellent for the remainder of the trip. The Corona arch was the first hike. Just got back to the car when the storm hit! Next day into Arches National park for the Devils Garden loop. A 7.5 mile loop with some pretty gnarly scrambling. 5.8 climbing (short) in sandals for Lucy was quite intense for a moment. Maggie got to go to doggie day care for her first time. A social learning experience for her. Lucy and I hit Indian Creek for some awesome crack climbing the next day. I got in a couple of nice mtn bike rides each day. Last day was a trip up the Colorado River to The Fisher Towers. An incredible place I would highly recommend! Most impressive formations the camera just can't capture. A short (seemed much longer) hike with quite a bit of elevation gain to a very exposed end point. The hike had everything from sand to slickrock type scrambling with a ladder in the middle on which Maggie needed a bit of help with a belay. Fantastic sunsets and sunrises with great friends around the campfire made a trip we won't ever forget!
