Moab, Utah ATVing

1/15/2013

A few months back I joined a buddy and his wife in Moab, Utah for my first ATV experience. The backdrop of the red rocks felt like we were on Mars which made for an exhilarating experience. It's a landscape that hasn't changed for billions of years (because the dramatic arches and peaks were formed under what used to be ocean) and it is a dream destination for bikers, hikers, and other adventure sports.

One of the coolest things in Moab is the cryptobiotic soil. Soil isn't something that I normally get excited about but what looks like arid, sandy, soil to the naked eye is actually alive.  If you pour water on it, it changes color and comes to life. This is a big reason why it is important to stick to the designated trails so that you aren't disturbing the natural habitat.

If you want a more detailed explanation of the soil you can read about it here.

And Moab isn't complete without a hike to Delicate Arch in Arches National Park.

Enjoy some of the photos from my trip!
