CLIMBING THE REEF: 5 Arches, 3 radioactive mines, 1 pictograph, all in an afternoon (E2/3)

Описание: Often unseen and within spitting distance of a major freeway we pass under I-70 and continue our 4WD journey through the swell.
​
More radioactive uranium mines, more millennia old pictographs, the ranch house of the family who lent their names to every major formation in the Swell, and so many natural rock bridges you'd think we were in Arches National Park. In this video we go even further off the main road of the San Rafael Swell and do some of the most advanced offroading of this trip.
