Day #3 Part 2

ONION CREEK
After we rafted down the river, we decided to ride the Onion Creek Trail, which passes over the creek 27 times. This was such a fun ride, one I would definately suggest for others! Like I said earlier, a storm came through and this trail is very sucseptiable to flash floods because it runs through a canyon, so some of the trail was washed away.

We ended up having to go through the river bed for a small distance so we could get back on the trail. It was exciting to be able to ride through the water and we actually had to make sure we were placing our front tires on good spots when we came up out of the creek. In fact, Bekka came to a spot where she almost tipped over (this was her first time on a 4 wheeler) and I rode up next to her and told her not to put her foot down. Well, little did I know of the seriousness of the situation, because all of a sudden, Torri and Jacqui came running out of nowhere to RESCUE BEKKA!This was a really pretty ride. We rode through the river bottoms for the first 4 miles and then it started climbing up quickly. We were a little worried about the weather because a bunch of dark storm clouds started rolling over the mountains. We made it to the top of Onion Creek and we stopped long enough to snap a few pictures and then we hurried back to the bottom. There are alot of flash floods in Moab because of all the rocks. It could rain 5 miles away and in minutes you could be in a bad situation because of the flooding.
But, we made it back safely even though Jenelle was really covered in mud this time. Poor Jenelle...Bekka made her get off the 4 wheeler every time they went down into the creek because she was afraid she was going to tip the 4 wheeler. Jenelle was a good sport through the whole thing!
