Moab 2021

2021-09-15

I started with Courthouse Rock trail. From there to Hidden Canyon Overlook trail, then on to Bartlett Overlook trail. Bartlett Overlook had some of the most challenging climbs I had done to date! It's hard to see how steep it really is in the two-dimentional video. Worse yet - after planning my route up the longest steepest rock climb, I forgot to turn the video camera back on!

My video camera ended up cocked about 8° off level and pointed to the left, causing the video to appear tilted to the right and pointing to the left. You get used to it pretty quickly. Also, my stereo was playing most of the time I was driving, so the music is playing in the segments of the video. If you don't want the music, you can easily turn down the volume.

Part of Courthouse Rock trail is a drive through Tusher Wash. I recorded most of the drive through there, and created that portion as a separate video. The same information applies (tilted camera, music).

While driving Courthouse Rock trail, I lost track of where exactly the trail was. Easy to do on the rock. In this video I realized I was no longer on the trail and went looking for it.

I drove the Fins and Things trail twice.
The first time was with a couple that I met in the campground. They drove a yellow Wrangler TJU. We drove the entire south loop, and the north loop up to the second shortcut out where they needed to leave.
The second time I went alone and drove both loops in their entirety.

I have two videos posted for that day. The first is highlights from the south loop trail, presented at 400% normal speed. The second is highlights from the south loop trail presented at normal speed. To keep the video at a reasonable length, the normal speed video contains less footage than the 400% version.

This one has no audio.

This one has the audio that was being played on my stereo at the time of the video recording.
