A tale of two rides

This past Saturday was spent doing a little biking in the Moab area.

The first ride was into Arches National Park. You have to pay $5 to bike in the park but it is well worth it. The rock formations are truly amazing. After entering the park you come to the biggest climb of the day as you bike to the area where all of the rock formations are at. I ended up doing a total of over 51 miles from Moab into Arches and back to Moab. I was not able to see any of the famous arches but did get to see one of the balanced rocks.

The second ride was along the Potash-Colorado River Scenic Byway outside of Moab. The rock formations along this route were pretty amazing to look at. I did get to see a few people rock climbing on the rock faces along the roadway. It is amazing how the water has made all of the cuts in this area. I ended up doing a total 21 mile out and back on this ride.
