This is a star trail I shot from our last trip to Moab!

Moab Road Trip

So usually my posts are regarding hiking in the Sea to Sky Corridor, but this year we took a different type of adventure to start off the summer. Sara and I hopped in the truck, and cruised through the USA, first down the Oregon coast for a nice surf session. We then cruised through Nevada to our next destination of Moab, where we biked everyday. Coming from Whistler, the biking in Moab is a whole other world; the rocks are so grippy you can climb just about anything. After camping on the Colorado river for 4 days and biking new trails everyday, we ventured off to Telluride, Colorado, to visit a good friend and unwind for a couple of days. Telluride is another amazing place, with this old Western-style town situated in an awe-inspiring valley with incredibly steep mountains all around. After a couple days of rest there, we started the 2 day journey back to Whistler, where summer was finally just starting. 12 days and 6000km later, we found ourselves back home, ready for more adventures.
