""Day 4, arrival of the zaun,and the porcupine rim, part 1"

the zaun had arrived about 10 pm the night before, today we were going to do the whole rim loop, we parked at city market and the journey began, i love riding with no hands, it feels like im flying. it was good to see the zaun, i had seen him in salt lake just a couple of weeks ago but hey, its the zaun, my favorite riding and camping bud through out the years..
at the first switchback before the ranger booth kj told us they had been scouting this little ridge line, thats zaun descending it in both pics..


up up up up , i think its about 2500 feet of gain to get to the jeep trail that takes you to the rim, and its about 12 miles from town..
thats the zaun lagging behind, i like this part of the road, as you go through that gap at the top you come out and see the la sals, beautiful fuckin mountains. its not too longer from here, i think the next time i go to moab i will give serious thought to riding up all the way to burro pass at 11,000 feet and descending the whole enchilada.
this was the up part of the porcupine rim trail that day....
