Day 1 was the awesome Mary's and Horsethief loop but we forgot the camera. Here on Day 2 our favorite ride of the week, the Western Rim Trail, 21 miles of great trail and scenery. The recent rains made the beginning section on Trail #2/Western Rim less sandy.
Francine after finding the real trail. We spent some time on a real cliff-hanger bit. Earlier, we missed a turn up some rocks and ended on a trail that must have washed/fell away. While on that sketch section, Kevin mentioned that he really liked how Francine picked some amazingly technical rides to keep Kevin happy.
Here I am kicking it back in the state park campground.
With our last trip to Fruita, which is about an hour northeast of Moab, consisting of only one day (due to rain also), we were excited to get back and spend some quality time checking out the area. Saturday, we tried to ride in Vernal, Utah, but rain kept us off those trails, left town early, and headed to Fruita on Sunday night. We spent 5 days at the Fruita state campground in perfect weather - 60's & 70's. I could get use to shorts and a t-shirt as my only wardrobe. The riding was really incredible, and we will definitely be back. This place appears to be the perfect spring riding area. Miles and miles of singletrack, no major climbing, just rolling over ridges and back down, and lots of sunshine.
