Sun, Wind, Rain and Snow. Spring on the Colorado Plateau 2015

The original plan was centered around a biking approach, followed by a technical canyon descent to the Green River, then packraft several days to a little used escape up two mile canyon to our awaiting vehicle at the canyon rim. For various reasons it didn't quite work out that way. What we did accomplish was technical mountain bike trails in Moab, an overnight backpack, free riding the slick rock at Keg Knoll, discovering (for ourselves) the outlaw cave of Bill Tibbetts and Tom Perkins. Then a number of slot canyons, mostly non-technical. Read about Bill Tibbets here.

We encountered the four seasons on this one outing, in all a great adventure.
The pictures below are arranged chronologically, unless I failed. Well either way you'll get the idea.
