Shafer Trail
Another day of jeeping up another trail. We just love it and are so glad that the Mertz' have included us in all the fun!
These petroglyphs were different than we had seen before. They kind of look like centipedes!
Remember the movie "Thelma and Louise"? Well it wasn't Arizona where they drove off the cliff. It was here in Moab and they catapulted the "stripped down to nothing car: over this cliff and into the Colorado River.
Dead Horse Point--This made a perfect, natural corral for horses as there is a narrow piece of land behind it (that you can't see in this picture) that they could gate off to keep the horses out on the point.
Here's a picture of the "Z" trail that we climbed up in the Mertz' jeep. Boy it was steep!
Here we are almost to the top of the Shafer trail having lunch with a view that looks down on the trail that we just drove up--see that light colored line almost in the middle of the picture--that was the easy part of the trail.
This is the view looking down from Dead Horse Point. Can you make out the white rock formation that is in the shape of a horse? It's legs are pointing toward the bottom right corner of the picture. The river is the Colorado River.
Pucker Pass--yes, we had to drive under this rock to get down the trail!
And Betty Mertz made it thru just fine alone with the rest of the group.
