It’s always best to have a Jeep partner. Sometimes we have explored to some pretty remote areas by ourselves, and Bob often says “We really should have someone with us in case of a breakdown or if we need a winch.” Lucky for us our friends Ron and Kathy are once again along for the ride to Utah. Not only do we really enjoy their company, but their having a Rubicon allows us to take some roads we might not otherwise.

A recent trip took us to Tower Arch and Eye of the Whale. Located inside Arches National Park, we bypassed all the crowds and took the back way in through the 4 x 4 road, Willow Springs. The road takes you by the Dinosaur Tracks also.

A beautiful day - we didn’t see a soul at the Eye, and only a couple of people at Tower Arch. Hard to get here if you don’t have a good 4x4 vehicle and a very experienced driver. Lots of steps and steep drops. On the way out we had an amazing view of the Marching Men formation and we hit Balancing Rock right when the moon was rising.
