Moab: Hurrah Pass and Chicken Corners

This past weekend I had the chance to head to Moab, Utah to check out the area for a potential job relocation. Saturday was mostly spent search the city for housing (nothing for rent, everything is for sale)and searching looking around town. Moab attracts some interesting individuals, I'll say that much.
During my searching I found my way out to Steel Bender trailhead, needless to say being by myself and unfamilar with this trail I left it to another time.

That night was spent in the KOA. If your wanting to have a campfire at the KOA they don't allow, which kind of irritated me. Next, time I'll camp somewhere else.

Sunday morning I was up and at it a 6am to get packed back up to hit the trail before anyone else, that and too take a shower (one plus to the KOA I guess).

Not really knowing the area too well, I headed up a my Kane Creek Blvd. To Hurrah Pass and then onto Chicken Corner, did some research on these before hand. The trip out to Chicken Corners was mostly uneventfully but well worth it to be on the trail without much traffic. Heading back out I ran into traffic's, Rhino's and Jeeps and Dirt Bikes Oh, MY! Oh an a few mountain bikers thrown into the mix.

Well, enough of my rambling onto the photo's.

Just two photo's from Saturday:

Well, that's the end of the report thanks for sticking with it.

Next time I go to Moab hopefully, I'll have more time to research the area and the trails.

Lockhart Basin and some of those mountain bike trails are calling my name to return. :smiley_drive::bike_rider:

Great pics! What kind of camera do you have?

I wish I would have known another T4R member was out there the same weekend I was. I would have had a better comfort level trying more difficult terrain if I wasn't fly'n solo.

What job opportunity might relocate you to Moab???

Just a cheap Kodak C813.

It was kind of a spur of the moment trip. I really didn't decide to go until Friday night. It was a job with Engery Solutions. I turned it down though theres no housing in Moab unless you want to buy and I really don't have the $$ to move w/o assistants.
