Leave your jeep here and walk south-we south-we t to the rim following yellow ribbons tied to trees and shrubs. A crack in the slickrock will take you down into the .network of caves. In a number of places, Taylor said, its possible to find viewpoints from inside the caves looking into the Colorado Co-lorado gorge as though observing from windows. The Arches The Arches contains the best d"vcloped trails of the region and can be reached by automobile as opposed to the Needles, where most of the trails are reached only by jeeps. The four best known trail areas are the Windows, Win-dows, 'he Delicate Arch trail, Fiery Furnace (ranker (ran-ker conducted), and Devils Dev-ils Carden trails. As a detailed de-tailed description of these superb trails in the Arches Arch-es would necessitate a complete article, we will leave it for future treatment. treat-ment. So the charms of the Moab region to the hiker are innumerable and too varied to become boring. And after making such pleasant excursions as have been mentioned, one cannot but feel better for having seen what millions mil-lions desire to .see. AnJ such wonders are right here in Moab's back yard. |
