No way to risk to stay stucked in so much snow, I preferred not to cross the pass that would lead me to the other side of the La Sal Mountains and went to Warner Lake driving around the mountains. I already discovered this little mountain lake in a previous trip and wanted to see it in its winter coat.
 
 
1. Late afternoon light on the Warner Campground, obviously empty at this season.
 

 
 
2. Beautiful frozen Warner Lake.
 

 
 
3. As the weather forecast indicated 12 F in Moab, over 3,000 meters below, I went down for me to find a campsite less exposed to cold. The view over Canyonsland and Henry Mountains, over 0 miles away, was splendid.
 

 
 
4. I found a better sheltered spot above Sand Flat, near an overlook over Castle Valley, a picture of the Far West at sunset…
 

 
 
The next day, session welding because I discovered that the bracket supporting the engine preheater was broken. Again and again the vibrations of the dirt roads… So I went late to Long Canyon.
 
 
5. The Colorado River reflecting the Moab Rim.
 

 
 
6. Going up in Long Canyon, With La Sal Mountains in the back.
 

 
 
7. The famous spot in Long Canyon ; Souvenir photo stop required! 😉
 

 
 
8. The next morning, I got up early to go to Mesa Arch at sunrise. A photo that I’m not the first to do but I like it…
 

 
 
9. VivaLaVida then went down the Schafer Trail to get to the White Rim Trail. Beautiful downhill in the vertical walls! VLV is quite small up there…
 

 
 
10. One of the meanders of the Colorado from the White Rime Trail.
 

 
 
11. Self-portrait at Musselman Arch, quite aerial… 😉
 

 
 
12. The towers that appear Under Mesa Arch, but this time from the bottom.
 

 
 
13. One of the huge overhang that crosses the White Rim…
 

 
 
14. In Canyonlands, there are number of canyons and arches everywhere. The White Rim Trail takes its name from the clear limestone layer that it follows over 100 miles.
 

 
 
15. From Whitecrack Campground where I spent the night, Sunset over the 20 miles away Needles is gorgious.
 

 
 
16. Under windwos of VivaLaVida too !
 

 
 
17. Almost the same colors at sunrise…
 

 
 
18. Another of theses giant overhansg with Candelstick Butte in the back.
 

 
 
19. A small slot canyon I visited along the trail…
 

 
 
20. I rediscover the Green River…
 

 
 
21. Luch stop at Potato Bottom.
 

 
 
Continuation and end of the White Rim Trail in the next update.
