Yesterday I went on a hike that was just going to be a little hour or so dog walk. When I got to the top of the Bridal Veil Falls, which is at the end of Telluride Valley, I just had to keep going. I was parked at about 9000 feet in altitude, and by the time I got to the top of the trail, I was at about 12,200 feet. This is definitely the highest Izze and Dusty have been, and I think it might be a winner for me as well.

I feel that the 3 days I’ve spent in Moab won’t be enough. I think I’ll try and come back in the spring when the weather is a little cooler. It’s been in the high 90’s with no break. I haven’t had enough time to explore as much as I’d like, especially the mountain biking trails. I’m going to ride the Slickrock trail tomorrow, but there are countless others to choose from.
The Definitive Jackson Hole Mountain Biking Review.
Let me first say that I was mistaken in my expectations of Jackson Hole. I was assuming that since they are a world-class ski and snowboard destination, I expected them also to be a world-class mountain biking destination. Errrrrrr! Wrong!

i really enjoyed my horseback ride today here in colter bay of jackson lake. i hadn’t been horseback riding in a while, so the 2 hour trail ride was the leisurely time I was looking for. I enjoyed the scenery, learned some things about moose, and saw some beaver lodges. cool stuff to just wander around on a horse. Rex (my horse) and I were a good match. he didn’t try and control the ride, but he followed along and let me tell him which way to go sometimes.
