Explore a creepy Ghost Town stuck in the 1980's.

On our way to Moab from Colorado we choose to take the scenic route when some friends told us about this little Ghost Town. I kept the family in the car as I explored around and took photos, as this place had a super creepy vibe. I kept getting this errie feeling that someone was watching me, and they probably were! Please be aware there are a few residents that still live in this town. Please respect the do not trespass signs. There are plenty of other building to explore without the risk of getting shot!

The town of Cisco dates back to the 1880's but died after it was bypassed by the construction of I-70 in the late 1950's. Now it has a few buildings and abandoned cars and trucks scattered around the town with a 1980's vibe. This location has been used in several films.

Enjoy but be safe!

The off road trail called Top of the World is a dirt road meant for *OFF ROAD VEHICLES ONLY*. All wheel drives jeeps and trucks are most common on this route but it is frequented by ATV and Dirt Bike users as well. If you elect to hike this route be mindful of their presence and give off-road vehicles a wide berth. The trail itself is 6.6 miles each way, and ends at a lookout point overlooking ...

Descend Lost and Found Canyon

For this descent you will need two 60 meter ropes, an Arches National Park canyoneering permit, be comfortable with 4th class slick rock, and have your usual canyoneering kit. This canyon does require some basic chimneying and canyoneering climbing techniques as well. The trailhead can be reached with a high clearance car in most conditions as long as it has not rained recently. From the park...

Descend MMI Canyon

For this descent you will need to be comfortable with 4th class slick rock, have two 60m ropes, and an Arches National Park canyoneering permit along with your usual canyon kit.

Climb Moab's Ancient Art, Fisher Towers Area

This is one of the most popular towers in the Moab area and for good reason. It's well-protected, has super fun movement and variety, and the final spire summit will get your blood pumping. Aside from a few bolted moves that go around 5.10+ (or A0), most of the route is pretty cruiser ranging from 5.6-5.8. Even the summit spire is pretty easy climbing and bolted. The exposure is what will get ...

Delicate Arch

I headed out to the trailhead because I really wanted to shoot the super moon with the Delicate Arch. It was absolutely fantastic, especially during such a full moon. Everything was bathed in a soft glow, it was like I was on another planet actually. It was amazing to sit in silence and to try to comprehend the power it took to shape the beautiful landscape. Something to consider...I didn't re...

Rock Climb Dragonfly Canyon

This canyon is a bit more advanced as it requires a mandatory swim and most likely a section of wet pot holes to surmount which, if dry, can also pose their own challenge. You will need standard canyoneering gear as well as two 60m ropes for the last rappel. Start by parking on a small pullout on the right if you are driving into the park about a mile up the road after crossing courthouse wash....
