Day 8 & 9, Wednesday 6/25 & Thursday 6/26, The Black Canyon & Moab - Jeeps in the Canyons

Wednesday we rode the Black Canyon then on to Gunnison for lunch. After returning and a short break we worked our way on to Moab Utah, including the spectacular rt 128 from 70W to Moab.  Rt 128 is one of the scenic byways Utah. It should be on everyone's bucket list.

RT 128 in Utah

Thursday we rented Jeeps and went into Canyonlands National Park.  Everyone raved about what a great time they had - which was a relief after I had convinced people to try it (and spend the money). Its tough to really describe how beautiful and different it is from anything out east.  Another item that should be one everyone's bucket list - Jeeps in Canyonland.

Canyonlands - incredible

1000's of miles of off road to explore in Utah

Us kids - climbing on the rocks - yours truly on top.

Unfortunately the Can-Am blew a seal and parts could not be found - fortunately there was a friend in the area with a trailer going back to Montrose. So we loaded the Can-Am and doubled up on the bikes so everyone could be included on the ride.  In Montrose - Scott had bought steaks for everyone so dinner was ribeyes on the grill, salad and cold beers - perfect.

There was a lot left to see in Colorado & Utah but our time is nearly up. Saturday we head east.
