"But taking my meal outside by the burning juniper in the fireplace with more desert and mountains than I could explore in a lifetime open to view, I was invited to contemplate a far larger world, one which extends into a past and into a future without any limits known to the human kind. By taking off my shoes and digging my toes in the sand I made contact with that larger world-an exhilarating feeling which leads to equanimity." Edward Abbey, Desert Solitaire

Where in Moab is this picture from? We are trail leaders for the Red Rock 4 Wheelers. We'll be leading Kane Creek on the Friday trail before Easter and then Cliff Hanger on Saturday. Do you four wheel or bike/hike when you are down there?
How sappy am I?! That quote seriously almost made me tear up a bit. I am absolutely home sick for Southern Utah right now. Your post didn't help - thnx tons. =)
You my friend, are awesome. Love the pic.
This photo is on the way to Dead Horse Point State Park. Off to the side of the road to the park is this huge "island" of red rock. We happened to drive by just as the sun was setting and casting a beautiful color over it. Makes me want to go back soooooo bad. Wish there were more places to work there. Someday.
Beautiful! I love the red rock country. My cute hubs used to Mountain Bike there every weekend with his friends before he met me. We hope to take our kids in the not-so-distant future (maybe in April). That photo is stunning!
That is an awesome pic! I live in Sandy and have only driven through Moab but haven't really stopped to look around.
I need to get back there!
