Waking up this morning was something else… we had camped in
an absolutely outstanding place. I was awestruck when I left the tent to go pee
at 7:10am. We were surrounded by towering red cliffs and beautifully carved
arches. Arriving quite late, we didn’t
quite realize where we actually were. I went for a little stroll on the sandy
road and took some photos. The moon was still up. I was speechless.
Packing up and heading off, we were geared up and excited to bike the Magnificent 7 trails.
We drove to the top of the world it seemed. Peaked out onto
a high plateau, we could see for miles. The air was cool, only +14, which is perfect
biking temperatures. Parking the car at the Mag 7 parking lot, we pulled the
bikes out and kitted up ready to go. We chatted with a couple people about
which way to ride, and met an adorable pooch named Bella. We met the Rossi Rep
for Colorado and his wife, which I cannot remember their names now. They have
friends in NZ they wanted us to meet.
Bull Run to The Great Escape to Little Canyon to Arth’s to the Getaway to a long ass ride uphill to our truck. We thought it was about 30 miles and by the end of it, we were fucking tired. It was an awesome ride though! I’d do it again and again and again.

Driving back down to Moab, we stopped at the local watering
hole for a dip in the river. I actually just went in and Ben didn’t want to. It
felt great. We stopped for a quick internet usage and update and some ice.
We are headed to Indian Creek….I've heard some things about Indian Creek. Mostly, it's been words about how the climbing there is hard. ha! We met a buy in Moab who mentioned that he was going to be in IC and we should join him. We didn't rush here, and I'm pretty sure we have missed him.
The drive to the Creek was so beautiful. We stopped a couple times to take photos and check out Canyon Lands overlooks. Ben was stunned at the massiveness of the canyon. Wait 'till you see the Grand Canyon, I said!!
Indian Creek is beautiful. Obviously, it has a creek that runs through the whole area, lush greenery stream along the water way. We stopped at 'Newspaper Rock' which is Indian writings from many many many eons ago. Pretty cool.
We found a camping site closer to the Canyon Lands National Park. The road to the site was most defiantly for 4x4, which made it a lot more fun. We found a sweet little spot and hunkered down for the night. Made a nice dinner, watched a movie - you know, the normal routine - and fell asleep to a beautiful sunset and silence.
