An ocean of rolling sandstone slickrock...

is to be enjoyed on the famous Slickrock Trail. Don’t let the seemingly flat expanse in the image below deceive you but I cranked slightly more than 2,000 feet (610 m) of vertical ascent on the 10 mile (~16 km) trail. I first rode this line in the early 1980s on the upswing of mountain biking and it hasn’t gotten any easier at three score and nine years in age.
