Cathedral Valley Fast Trip

[sawtooth4x4]

We left Friday night and stayed in the Rode Way in, in Caineville, UT. Took about 4 hours to get there from Layton, UT.

We woke up around every 30 minutes that night. It was not a good sleep. We finally rolled out of bed at 6.30, hit the showers, grabbed some free breakfast and headed out around 9.00

We started out trying to go backwards on the trail from the normal route, but we ended up in the middle of no where with some capped oil wells. We finally gave up on that and went the normal route.

I'll now add pictures.

When we were lost. lol

Found all these bridges. They held the Ram just fine. Note to anyone that wants to do this trip. A full size, Longbed Crew Cab, works fine.

Now onto the River Crossing. No problems there, It barely got to the center of my hubs.

This is the Oil Prospecting Truck and Rig, pretty cool. Can't believe they were able to drill anything with this set-up.

Then we moved on to the Gypsum Sinkhole and the Glass Mountain and Sun and Moon Temples.

Glass Mountain, It was hard to get good pictures.

Finally the Sun and Moon Temples

Bad Picture. After this we headed back toward Oil Patch Road and found our way up to I70, with maps and bad GPS coordinates.

Some Random Mesa on the way out.

Very cool pics. We were hiking around Moab this weekend & could not have had better weather.

Looks like a nice trip. Great pictures, I like the black grill on the truck.

Looks like a great trip, thanks for sharing!

That bridge looks like an old railroad flat car.... it'll probably hold 10 of those Dodges at once.

Nice, I love that area! We were in Caineville this weekend as well, but over in Swing Arm City

Sounds like a few RMErs took advantage of the good weather last week.
Dodge looks good crossing the river.
