Re: Desert Off-Road Trip 2015: White Rim Trail & Lockhart Basin

About half way there we pass over Murphy Hogback, which is a steep narrow 5 minute low range 2 MPH climb straight up a canyon wall.




Once we reached the top of Murphy Hogback we broke for lunch then rolled on down the other side.


During lunch our bicycle friends caught up with us. They enjoyed watching and throwing Frisbees over our trucks as we rolled of the ledge on the other side of Murphy Hogback.


Sights along the way




We took the 1.4 mile side track to the White Crack overlook where the Colorado and Green River’s met. This is why this area is called Island In The Sky, because you are essentially on an island in the sky above two rivers. Awesome views no camera can capture. California……here comes your water!
