The weekend before Easter we were invited by Austin's friend from work to join them in their annual Moab Jeepin' trip. We were so excited to go! We stayed in the "Needles" area. There was so much beautiful scenery. We stayed at "Wooden Shoe Arch" campground. The picture below is of the Needles, Wooden Shoe Arch, and some cool Indian petroglyphs:) 
The trail Austin was most excited about was the Elephant Hill Trail. The first few miles were the roughest and it definately tested our Jeeps off-roading capabilities. Needles to say, she was a champ!!! (And I should mention that Austin's off-road driving skills were pretty impressive;)
This part of the trail was known as the "Silver Staircase"
Along the trail we were able to stop at several places that had inter-twining cave for the kids (and adults) to climb through...they LOVED it! Elena had so much fun hiking with the other kids and being outdoors.
Towards the end of the trail it lead to the Colorado/Green River Confluence, where both rivers meet. It was neat to see this and to see how different each river is just by the color of the water.
We had a blast!!!! Now we (especially Aus) have the Jeepin' bug:o) Austin can't wait to fine tune a few things with the Jeep then get her out on the trails again. So...
