Скачать или смотреть Canyonlands National Park - Moab, Mines, and Desert Trails

Three full days exploring some of the wildest terrain in southern Utah — from fog-covered red rock canyons at sunrise to high desert uranium mines, slickrock trails, and ancient cave dwellings.

I started the trip chasing morning light along the Colorado River near Moab, flying through layers of fog that wrapped the cliffs in surreal color. From there, I followed Potash Road beneath towering canyon walls, climbed the legendary Shafer Switchbacks, and explored Island in the Sky with sweeping views that stretch for miles.

Day two brought a long drive south to the Needles District. Along the way, I detoured to the historic Mi Vida uranium mine — a place I’ve wanted to see for nearly 20 years. What followed was rugged backroads, desert wind, unexpected drone challenges, and one of the most beautiful hikes I’ve taken in Canyonlands.

On the third day, I decided to keep the offroad adventure going, and drive from the Moab area to Green river, all on dirt roads and rough trails. It took about 4.5 hours to make the journey - getting turned around due to trail conditions that were too complex for my Subie to handle, but I always found a way to keep pushing forward, and was able to meet my goal.
