Location: Where the roads get smaller and smaller. Highway becomes road. Road becomes dirt road. Dirt road narrows to wooden 2 track bridge dwindling to sandy swampy 2 track leading to footpath through cranberry bog to the saltless sea.

FKNA.
That is awesome. I wish I started exploring this area a decade ago. Then again, I didn't have a 4wd high clearance vehicle back but I could still have seen some great stuff without one.Quote:

Not specifically, but I've explored Fish and Owl and Grand Gulch and Comb Ridge and it all starts to blend together. So many small ruins scattered all over. Then a little further west, near Powell, are some amazing slot canyons that I've stumbled upon that don't require ropes. Probably not as amazing as the "known" places, but to camp next to them, hike around, discover them, explore, with nobody else around, is still pretty special.Quote:

Fantastic singletrack in southwestern CO that hadn't seen a tire in weeks before mine.

First time I visited Delicate Arch it was off the beaten path, as was Arches. Not so much now.

But that pic looks like it was taken right on the beaten path.Quote:

San Antonio Rd north from Mountain View. Start walking when it ends. 5 miles of levee trail through wetlands and bay breeze and bay mud. Views of the great SF Bay, home to 10 million. 12 lanes of 101 commute crawl left behind in minutes.
General comment that in many parks, a few steps leaves the beaten path. I've backpack camped in Arches - middle of nowhere a few hundred yards from the park road. Pretty nice after a day of airports, long drive, crush of humanity at the park entrance. Stars, wildflowers, and sandstone. Don't tell Abbey.
I think abbey would approve though, no way he'd tolerate the crowds either. And it's not illegal to walk off the trail in Arches anyways.Quote:
