Canyonlands
National Park reports that the Shafer Trail is now open for
vehicle travel – another sign that spring is here and the parks are
launching their seasonal activities.
The trail is shown at right. It
consists of a series of switchbacks that fall off Island
In the Sky Mesa near Dead
Horse Point, down to the White
Rum Trail. It is an extremely scenic route that can be driven in
a high clearance vehicle. Four-wheel drive is not usually needed.
New Enduro Cup at Magnificent 7, Moab, UT Announced
(This is a news release provided by the
Enduro Cup.)
SALT LAKE CITY, UTAH (March 18, 2013) -
Renowned cyclocross and enduro racer Ali Goulet has teamed up with
Salt Lake City-based event marketing agency Mountain Sports
International to create the new Enduro Cup series. Enduro is the most
progressive form of mountain bike racing which is hugely popular in
Europe and gaining incredible interest in the United States. Inspired
by rally car and motorbike enduro racing, enduro mountain bike racing
is an all mountain stage race where riders compete to gain the lowest
cumulative time from several downhill sections of the course.
Inspired by the great enthusiasm
spurred by the 2012 Bell Wasatch Enduro at Canyons Resort in Park
City, the new Enduro Cup provides more opportunities for racers to
compete in the state. The first event of the 2013 Enduro Cup will be
held in Moab, UT at the Magnificent 7 trail area.
Registration for the Enduro Cup in Moab
is open now on http://endurocup.athlete360.com.
Participation cost is $80 for adults and juniors.
