IF you head up the colorado outa moab, towards dead horse point, there's a dinosaur track that was embeded in mud, then the that layer stood on edge, then layer above it fell off and landed upside down. Pretty neat--kinda the negative and positive imprints---reminded me of a giant chicken. Some pictographs around there. You guys get touring around, there's arches, natural bridges, goosenecks (is that the san juan?) no end of canyons, dugways, newspaper rock, paradox valley--one of only two places that a river---the delores--comes in one side of a valley and exits out the other. Narrow guage from durango to silverton, mesa verde is a 'must see'---so remote that was discovered by cowboys maybe 1900--who spent quite a bit of time carting stuff off before telling anybody. Go down by 4 corners, you'll recognize background for several john wayne movies---guy who had a trading post there was the one who went to hollywood and promoted the country---the cabin from true grit is there on the grounds. As lots of john wayne memorbilia---they kinda headquartered there for several movies. think you can hire a charter outa the airport n of moab and fly arches and canyonlands---most remote country in lower 48, till uranium prospectors got in there---maybe late 40's, early 50's. West slope colorado, se utah is sparsley populated, real people.
