Thursday morning, my parents, Melanie and my daughter Riley and I left around nine with the intentions of taking the Blue Hills Road instead of just I-70 to get to Moab. Taking the 175 exit off I-70, we started out on the road. It had seen better days, with lots and lots of cuts from streams due to the recent rains. This didn't make for the smoothest, or quickest route in, but who cares?
We made our way in, stopping occasionally to let the dog out to play, as well as letting my daughter Riley out, as she has been couped up for too long. 5 year olds get bored
I had decided to try a new trail that I hadn't ever done before, Hidden Canyon Overlook, which ties in with the Dubinkie Well Road. From the guide books I'd read, it was a nice scenic trail with a few challenges. My parents aren't into really difficult trails, nor am I, but I was told that they wanted to use low range It lived up to what I'd hoped for, an easy afternoon drive, very pretty and great to get back out in the Utah desert for.
We made good time, stopping a few more times to have lunch and just get out and not rush the day. The weather was surprisingly good, as it had been the only thing that I worried about. Thursday it was in the mid 50's, with the rest of the weekend only getting warmer.
