TRAVEL FEATURE I TOURING MOAB ON TWO WHEELS
P92
Creek Trail and campground
look like a typical dirt turn-off.
A few miles in, the red canyon
walls began to rise, and the
deep canyon views started to
appear. The Jeep trail wound
back and forth through half-
frozen creeks. There must have
been 20 to 30 crossings with the
sound of breaking ice beneath
our tires. Onion Creek has some
of the most beautiful rock forma-
tions and canyon views you'll
find anywhere. We rode it to the
end and explored two mountain
passes we thought we could get
through. No luck. We encoun-
tered too much snow. No biggie,
we turned back. Onion Creek
was just as much fun in reverse.
The off-season in Moab was
all we had hoped for. We rode
and explored familiar terrain with
new eyes and different condi-
tions; we took our time and
enjoyed the calm. The trails were
uncrowned and wet. The town
was quiet and very welcoming.
We made some good memories,
had a lot of fun, and returned
with a ton of fantastic photogra-
phy. Mission accomplished.
