Moab - BLM Jeep Tour

This morning we went downtown and walked the shops, surprisingly we didn't buy anything! Had lunch at Milts, an old historic burger stand. For the afternoon we booked an offroad Jeep tour through the Moab Bureau of Land Management (BLM) area. It was an open top jeep designed to go through the rugged terrain of this area. There were sites for camping, off-road vehicles, motorcycles and mountain bikes along the road. We also saw rock climbers in the high cliffs and repelling down the mountain side. At the end of the drive was Hurrah Pass with it's 360 degree view of all the canyonland, cliffs, stone vertical walls and the Colorado River below.
We took the tour to better understand the indigenous people who left carvings in the rock faces, the topology of the huge gorge and the history of the area. It was really informative. You can drive through this area admiring the beautiful scenery and never understand the history and science behind everything you are viewing. We really enjoyed better understanding the area and it helps make a lasting impact of the journey.Read more
