2016-03-21: Moab - Needles & Anticline Overlook

3/21 (Monday) – Drove out to Needles & Anticline Overlook south of Moab.  We had always driven down through the canyon but this view was from up on the Mesa.  It gives you a better perspective of where all the trails lead.

First, here are the videos from yesterday (Secret Spire) showing some of the slickrock climbs.

and now for some of the overlook sights:

The road below is where Vaughan and his friend Brooks will be riding dirt bikes next week - 

Lockhart Basin which runs from Needles to Moab thru Chicken Corners.

This is Chicken Corners trail as it curves around Hurrah Pass.  We did this in the Jeep last year.

We took an old Jeep road (Looking Glass) out of Needles and discovered this new housing development.  Here is our next home - carved into the side of Navajo Sandstone. Awesome!
