May 1, 2006

After spending the weekend in Grand Junction running some of the toughest trails around, I continued on to Moab and arrived Sunday evening. I was meeting some friends here later in the day, but would have the morning and part of the afternoon to myself, so I started out by exploring the Steel Bender trail on my own.

From there I headed north of town to check out Bull Canyon.

After that, I met up with my friends and we ran over and hit Potato Salad Hill and Dump Bump.

We both walked right up Potato Salad Hill and I walked up Dump Bump, but his long arms prevented him from making it up Dump Bump unassisted.

After Dump Bump, we decided to run half of Fins & Things since we were there.
