    Location: Where the roads get smaller and smaller. Highway becomes road. Road becomes dirt road. Dirt road narrows to wooden 2 track bridge dwindling to sandy swampy 2 track leading to footpath through cranberry bog to the saltless sea.

    That is awesome. I wish I started exploring this area a decade ago. Then again, I didn't have a 4wd high clearance vehicle back but I could still have seen some great stuff without one.

    Curious if you recognize the location of my pics then? I'd guess probably so.

    Not specifically, but I've explored Fish and Owl and Grand Gulch and Comb Ridge and it all starts to blend together. So many small ruins scattered all over. Then a little further west, near Powell, are some amazing slot canyons that I've stumbled upon that don't require ropes. Probably not as amazing as the "known" places, but to camp next to them, hike around, discover them, explore, with nobody else around, is still pretty special.

    I think I could probably piece together a location for that, PM me if that interests you, but probably not for a couple of weeks as I'm going on vacation.

    I totally agree with the 'nobody around exploring' being special. Almost too remote - a small mistake is a really big deal out there.

    First time I visited Delicate Arch it was off the beaten path, as was Arches. Not so much now.

    in the middle of everything, it can be a party, or you can sit there in silence (except for the birbs) all day. ymmv

    Don't know how to post pictures any more...
    San Antonio Rd north from Mountain View. Start walking when it ends. 5 miles of levee trail through wetlands and bay breeze and bay mud. Views of the great SF Bay, home to 10 million. 12 lanes of 101 commute crawl left behind in minutes.

    General comment that in many parks, a few steps leaves the beaten path. I've backpack camped in Arches - middle of nowhere a few hundred yards from the park road. Pretty nice after a day of airports, long drive, crush of humanity at the park entrance. Stars, wildflowers, and sandstone. Don't tell Abbey.

    I think abbey would approve though, no way he'd tolerate the crowds either. And it's not illegal to walk off the trail in Arches anyways.

    There's some outstanding pictures in this thread, but this one is really special. The golf club really ties it all together.




    Loving all the swimming hole pics too. Every kid growing up should have one. I did, and it was hidden down a sandstone ravine with multiple pools and falls and no shortage of increasingly risky places to jump from. I'm told it no longer exists thanks to a landslide, which kinda bummed me out.
    I still call it The Jake.
