Gallery 5 - Matt's Digital Photos
This is Day 4 at the Fisher Towers northeast of Moab, Utah. Matt told me this was a place to take unreal photos, and when we first got there, I sort of said, "Yeah, it looks nice..." But then we got on the trail and hiked a few miles up to the towers, and they just became larger than life. At one point, we were sitting under the Cottontail Tower, and we cracked open a beer, and Matt pointed out that we were only 3 feet from the base and we could see the summit about 900 feet above us. Amazing.
Twenty miles south of Moab. Note the road that approaches the door.
Yes, there is a door.
I wonder how far that entrance goes into the rock formation? Must be an Area 51 hangar or...
The Fisher Towers. This was a photo from our campsite. Not too shabby of a place to camp.
Matt checking the trailhead map. He and Jason and Jesse have climbed here before.
The towers are huge when you get close to them.
We got really close to this tower. Matt shows the scale of the rock face. They are huge, dude.
Twice I approached the wall with my camera and started tipping over backwards and Matt caught me. It just happens when you start looking up at big walls like that...
The crown of this "Cobra Snake" formation is a hard piece of sandstone that fell from the summit above eons ago, and stopped erosion below it and made this formation. Very cool.
Tony standing next to the VERY LARGE rocks. Humans really put these into scale.
This looks like a 1600's French Fur Trader to me. Matt said he could see it.
Note that Matt is standing at the base of this tower. Sort of puts things into scale...
It was at this base that we could see 900 feet up to the summit.
Matt standing out on a ledge into space.
This is a rope that is about 450 feet up the spire, and was left for some reason. The more we looked at it, the more questions were raised. Hopefully nothing bad happened on their climb.
Looks like a guy with a backpack and a 1900's city worker hat. Yes?
This is the Titan. Just absolutely huge. Bigger than every other tower here. Titan is scary big.
East of Glenwood Springs, where Bill Duncan met us and took Matt back into the desert. I drove Matt's 4-Runner back to the airport.
