I started my visit to Moab with a ride out Kane Creek Rd to Hurrah Pass and beyond. This is the trailhead for Cliffhanger and Amasa Back trails.

Parked at Hurrah Pass, looking west at the Colorado River, potash evaporation ponds, Dead Horse Point State Park and Island in the Sky region of Canyonlands National Park.

Zooming in on the potash evaporation ponds. Apparently they add a bllue dye to speed up the evaporation.
|
|
 |
From Hurrah Pass, I can barely see the La Sal Mountains above the nearby rock ridge.
|
|
 |
Here's a better view of the La Sal Mountains. I'll be up there in a couple of days.

In the distance, petrified sand dunes for slickrock sandstone.

 |
From Hurrah Pass, continuing on towards the Colorado River along Lockhart Basin Road
|
|
 |
Lockhart Basin Road continues for miles (all the way to the Needles District of Canyonlands National Park), but I turned around here.

I love the cocoa color of these rocks!

There rocks remind me of posts on fancy furniture!

Heading back down towards Moab, a view of Kane Springs Creek. You can see its path from the green trees that grow beside it.
