At the beginning of the Porcupine Rim Trail there's this nice ovelook into Castle Valley. I think the towers are called the Fisher Towers, but I can't be sure. 


Taking a little break before we blast the double track of Porcupine Rim.


Craig ready for the finale.


Another cliff shot to remind us just how close we were.  


The Porcupine Rim is mostly an old jeep trail through the scrub. We spent a lot of time in the big ring hauling ass, so there aren't any
pictures of the ride. Near the bottom it becomes single track again where it winds its way through a little canyon and out to the road next to
the Colorado. This is probably my favorite part of the trail because it gets crazy technical. The turns are tight with lots of sharp steep little
rocks to climb over and around.


 
At the very bottom - right before the road - there's a jump where a photography from town takes your picture. Here's my effort at air. 


Craig launching.


And finally Jeff. The jump really surprises you. You think you're going to hit it and do something really cool, but once you're in the air you
realize you're quite a ways from the ground.


I tracked our progress with my GPS. Here's a map tacking the route we took from the top and back into town.


And here's a little elevation profile of the route. The bottom (Moab) is about 4,000 ft.
