Onion Creek Trail to Gateway Colorado with Yokohama












The first couple of weeks of October we were busy at Canyonlands Jeep! Some of the reps from Yokohama Tire Company came out to jeep and put their tires to use. One of the trips was on a trail called Onion Creek.





Onion Creek has some great views and scenery and actually crosses thru a creek bed around 27 times. Usually the water is only an inch or 2 deep, but this year we have had a little more rain than normal. You can tell by the mud on the jeeps that we all had a fun day.












The day progressed with more jeeping, pictures and lots of laughter. We enjoyed time for photo ops and as you can tell some of us are more into than others.


For me personally, it was a nice day to enjoy some off roading and take some great scenery shots.
After we finished on the Onion Creek trail we went up over the mountain and dropped into Colorado to Gateway Canyons Resort www.gatewaycanyons.com . It was a nice mid point of the day. We had lunch there at the Paradox Grille and then a trip to Gateway Colorado Auto Museum. If you are looking for a great day trip close to Moab this one is definately a place to consider. Even if your not a car buff like I am the collection of different cars is amazing.

Autumn activites in Moab


Finally we are seeing some cooler fall weather. Even noticed some of the leaves are starting to change, maybe need a weekend day trip to the La Sals to get some photography in before the colors are gone.

This month in Moab there is plenty to do. Starting with this weekend there is the 24 hours of Moab and on the 17th is the Other Half Marathon. Saturday the 30th of October is the Annual Pumpkin Chuckin' Festival and that is always a great time!

We have lots of jeep availability towards the end of the month. It would be nice to see some return customers for the Fall!
