    we'll talk more about the thursday...we may join ya...definitely a toss up between the two...BTR seems like a bad ass trail with tons of fun obstacles, but i know the trifecta is full of goodies as well...

    Friday we're planning on doing a hiking day with the ladies down to fisher towers (dog friendly) if you wanted to hit that up...but understandable if you wanted alone time with the lady...

    we'll be rolling into town by wednesday late morning...might be down for a hells run...i know the older tacoma we're rolling with really wanted to hit that trail up..

    it's about and hour and a half outside of moab and there is a hike to get there.

    google The Great Gallery Utah canyonlands. There are hundreds of 8000 year old petroglyphs in the canyon.

    I believe it's in the Canyonlands national park in the horseshoe canyon.
