Sterlin goes Off-Road, UT

Today we visited Canyonlands National Park. Instead of taking the paved roads, we decided to take one of the 4WD only roads. This enabled us to get away from the crowds and access great views of the Colorado River.

The trip started out down a rather simple sand road. Although, the ranger had told us that the road we choose was “not difficult” the road was proving to be much less difficult than I imagined. And then suddenly the sand road turned into rock, and the difficulty level went up considerably. The ranger also said the road was “not easy”.

We spent 5 miles weaving our way through the rock outcrops. Caroline had to often get out of the car and act as a ‘spotter’ to find a managable route. Overall the trip was a total blast. Here are some photos.
