Trip #73 (4): Marble Canyon, Jacobs Lake, Page, Goosenecks

October 20 – 25, 2015

Arizona: Marble Canyon twice, almost the North Rim, Page, Goosenecks

Wild weather ditched our plans for three days on the north rim. Detour to Page and Goosenecks instead. A trailer slide on the rainy then slushy road to the north rim (from 41 degrees to 32 degrees in 5 miles, from moisture to snow) had us turning around and outta there as fast as possible. The sign said the road is not maintained, and I had no intention of getting stuck down there then having to navigate an icy road. No thanks! The Summer-like Page along Lake Powell was a welcomed surprise, plus gorgeous scenery at the Goosenecks. Gave us a chance to use the new bikes.

The Goosenecks! Drive up and camp.

Mountain biking (on a road) through this deceiving grade... up and up... tough ride.

Nature gave a color show at Goosenecks that night.
