2024-03-29 and 30 Owl Rock and Trail Running

For Easter weekend Carly and I needed to get out of town for some nights away. The weather in Salt Lake has been rainy for the last few weekends. Despite not a stellar forecast for Moab we headed there for a little climbing, trail running, and skiing.

Carly running off towards the base of Castleton Tower.

The winter precipitation is starting to bring out the spring flowers already.

Martian landscape that is Castle Valley.

Sister Superior group on the skyline. In 2013 I climbed a rout on the left edge of this group. Since then the lower pitches have fallen off.

View from the parking lot of Owl Rock. Climbers seen finishing up the main pitch.

Snowy La Sals Mountains in the distance from Arches NP and the Devil's Garden Trail.

Devil's Garden trail is really nice for seeing a bunch of different types, sizes, and shapes of arches.

Stark differences of the desert and the mountains.
