the schaefer trail

Moab, Utah

September 20, 2016

The Schaefer Trail is a wonderfully scenic ride from Moab that begins along the Colorado River to Postash Road.  It has a feeling of landing on Mars with the red rock cliffs.

This is a view from Thelma and Louise Point where the final jump scene of the movie was filmed over the Colorado River.

The Colorado River turns in a sharp gooseneck in Canyonlands.

The view from the top of the trail always takes my breath away.  Canyonlands National Park is a feast for the eyes with it’s incredible depth and texture layers.
