Lion's back is closed but the mini lion's back is open...it was frightening enough for me!

One of the steeper obstacles on the Fin's and Thing's trail in Moab...so steep your front bumper scrapes into the dirt...hard to get perspective from the pic but trust me it's steep!

A view from the White Rim Trail....at times you are driving on the edge of rock cliffs that are over hanging the canyon....quite frightening!

Beginning of Hell's Revenge trail...
 Sweet FJ on Hell's with 35" metric equivalents...  Straight down! Good spotter required!  Mickey's hot tub....and no I did not go in it...I know Greg will be the first to ask!   It's amazing what you can climb out there with friction...I did this with ease...

A few pics from the Kane Creek Canyon trail. I highly recommend this trail if you are in the area!
 We tagged along with the Land Rover club from Colorado....nice group of guys...gave me a spot in a couple places. They were on a scouting trip for the rest of their group.     There are probably about 30 to 40 crossings of Kane Creek with much of the trail actual IN the creek!   The cows followed along for about a mile before they finally got out of the way!  One of the tougher sections of the trail...  Spotting a rental jeep through the tough stuff....asked the guy how much they charged per day, $160...brand new 2007 rubicons straight off the lot...

More of Hell's Revenge...not really a tough trail but do not do it without a spotter or you will greatly regret it!

OK, so some pics of Zion, probably my favorite place on the whole trip...
   The trail up to Angel's Landing, a must see if you are in the area!   1000ft dropoffs on both sides....no joke! Not for people with fears of height.
