Veteran's Day on Copper Ridge
Wednesday, November 11, 2009
This Veteran's Day I wanted to check out the Copper Ridge trail. I have been on bits and pieces of this trail before, but have never done the whole thing in one shot before. I made my way to Moab and topped off my tank before heading north out of town and turning onto the old highway just opposite of the Gemini Bridges Road. I followed the old higway for about a mile and a half before turning left at the start of the Copper Ridge trail. The trail follows along part of the Bar M Loop at this point.

Near the Klondike Bluffs trail
Dinosaur tracks near the end of the Copper Ridge trail
These tracks were weathered pretty badly, and certainly not as good as the ones I saw a few weekends ago
After heading up through an old mining area, I made my way back down to the highway again and headed home. It was a nice day off of work :)

Thanks again Randy for another fine TR.
Wouldn't the top of sevenmile canyon make another Thelma and Louise spot.
Last time I was there they had some cones warning that you should probably not proceed any further.

Yep good TR thanks Randy

Don't talk unless you can improve the silence.
The trout do not rise in the cemetery, so you better do your fishing while you are still alive. SGH
