Canyonlands National Park

OK, yeah, they hike you into the maze. I was wondering how you'd get bikes in there!!! It's awesome country. What a fantastic place for a mtb tour!! Believe everything you read about that road and how rough it is for 4wd. The drop offs and tight corners on the road were hell on a vehicle, but I think it'd be great riding! Spring, or Fall I hope. There is one section where the road is a car-width of flattish sandstone ledge that you drive on. Dang I wish I had a scanner, I have great old pix.

We went back there with backpacks and a 4x4 toyota pickup, me and three guys, the dog: 20 gallons of gas, 40 gallons of water, 2 spares, hi lift jack, winch, tool kit, 11 cases of beer and 1 case of hard liquor. ;-) Ah, youth, memories....

anyhoo... must read book for this trip is The Monkey Wrench Gang by Ed Abbey.. it takes place in the very locale.

addendum, I was looking at that site, I think the TE gals should forumulate a list of question for you to ask the tour company, so you don't end up with Yellowstone-ish less than 100% experience.
