2016-04-01 to 04-02: Corona Arch in Moab then Hanksville, UT - Ding and Dang, Goblin Valley, Swing Arm

4/1 (Friday) - Vaughan and Brooks first rode dirt bikes on the Sovereign Trail then hiked Corona Arch.  I had hiked this in the past and really needed to shop for gifts and clean the RV before leaving for Hanksville in the morning.  Here are a few pictures from the hike.

Here is part of the climb up to the arch - not easy.



Corona Arch -




4/2 (Saturday) - Headed to Hanksville today for a few nights.  Unable to sit still, we headed out to Ding and Dang Canyons for a 4 mile hike, then on to Goblin Valley, and then to Swing Arm City off-road riding area.

It amazing in Utah - If you don't care for the current scenery, wait 5 miles and it all changes.

Climbing in Ding Canyon



We did not get past this point.




Spring is finally starting to arrive - I had to lay down on the side of the road to get this shot.



Later in Goblin Valley -



Goblin Valley was used in the movie Galaxy Quest because it looks like another planet.





Heading west of Hanksville to Swing Arm City - dirt bike guys love this area.
