MOAB

Monarch butterflies, the roaming herds of African Wilda Beasts and Summit county residents all have one major thing in common. Seasonal migration. Every spring, while the snow melts and the tourism takes a break the residents of summit county attempt to colonize Kane Creek campgrounds just outside of the town of Moab. This area is the perfect break from the drab may melt of Breckenridge, it has hot weather, a lot of sand and you can swing a dead cat without encountering another great outdoorsy adventure.
We went for the mountain biking. Many trails were explored, the highlights being the Sovereign trail and the Amasaback trail (until Rob had to go and break his leg). Also the sovereign bluffs trail has dinosaur footprint fossils on it, which is pretty cool.
