Fisher Towers and Dead Horse State Park

After spending a night in Moab, we took a morning hike in the always-impressive Fisher Towers before heading out to Dead Horse State Park to camp. We'd been to Dead Horse a couple of times, but only spent a few hours mountain biking. This time we explored the park more thoroughly, and caught an awesome sunset. Tom got up in the wee hours to try a bit of star-photography (with similarly meh results), and hopped up again to catch a gorgeous sunrise.

After a shortish morning hike together, we decided to head for home. Quite an awesome trip, with a nice combo of new and familiar territory. And lots of funky, bizarre rocks. The weather was generally quite a bit hotter than we expected, yet we got hailed on, too! The driving-to-hiking ratio was certainly higher than we'd like, but as we get older, we find that we can't hike all day ... but also aren't capable of much sitting around. Ah, just gotta be comfortable in your own skin!
