Trip Report Poison Spider Mesa

Saturday, April 12, 2008

On Saturday I drove over to Moab to meet up with a few friends from NAXJA so that we could run the Poison Spider Mesa Trail. I had driven part of this trail a few years ago, but never did get to finish the entire loop on that trip......so I was looking forward to finishing it this time.
