Morning Glory Arch (Grandstaff Trail) - Moab, UT
Просмотров 18321 день назад
Morning Glory, after research, is an alcove arch and NOT a natural bridge, although it seems there is conflicting information on the internet. It's a very popular and easy accessible hike. You start this hike from the Grandstaff Trail a couple miles from downtown Moab, UT. You must cross the creek around 12 times, and with water flowing after rains the crossings might be more difficult to stay ...

    what would be you're routine to prepare your body for such a hike? climb camelback mountain 5 day's in a row, then wait a week and hit this trail? Or walk half way 5 times then go for it? Or just chuck caution to the wind and give yourself like 8 hours? I don't know...I carried a 45 pound pack halfway up and felt it wise to turn back cause I havent' done this kind of thing before.

      @HikingEngineer 7 дней назад

      hard to give advice since everyone has different levels of fitness - for me this is a short easy hike but i'm used to doing 20 to 60 mile day efforts. i would just go for it and take your time, it's not that many miles, just start early in the am and you'll have plenty of daylight. Even moving slowly with lots of breaks you should be able to do it in 5 to 6 hrs, it's not as bad as you might think!
