Woke up early form the back of Rubes (my car) in Kane Creek Canyon to weird didgeridoo type sounds coming out of Hunter Canyon, ate an entire melon while paying homage to the Birthing Rock, and then ran up the Amasa Back Trail. Overshot the turn off on the Jackson Trail because the trail sign was on the ground in the bushes, but I found it on my way back down.
The Jackson Trail is one of the neatest running trails in Moab and I have never see a soul on it. The single-track trail hugs a cliff above the Colorado and the views and drop-offs are really dramatic! One little trip could leave you tumbling a thousand feet down to the river below and Kane Creek can be flooded and difficult to cross at the bottom so maybe that is why people avoid the trail! Thankfully the Creek was only waist deep and it felt goooood at the end of the run. It is odly humid in Moab today - 50%, weird!
PM: 2-mile hike in my flip-flops to the Mill Creek swimming hole for bathing :)

 Attempt at a running self-portrait. I guess when running solo, my hands are unconciously thrown into the air!
