My company sent me to Ogden, UT for a Project startup. And on my off day. I rented a jeep from Cliffhanger jeep rental. 2006 Rubicon. Anyhow. My wife and I made it to Lions Back. and the family who USED to own it were cleaning out the buildings at the base of lions back. They said some guy bought it and was gonna build condo's at the Base next to it. Come Monday morning they were PERMENTLY blocking off the entrance to Lions Back.:eek:
I know Lions Back is not an extreme trail? But, it is kinda a ICON of Moab.
I climbed it twice during the day and once on my way back at night.
Just thought it was kinda sad to see it end. Glad I got to do it before it was gone.

BTW, condos are available at the Gonzo for purchase.

Well at least Timmy manned up in time!


Bummer. I love doing that climb. :(


But what's to keep us from doing it in the middle of the night? ;)

I live in Utah and haven't heard even a wisper about this.
Amasing how tree huggers will scream and dance trying to close trails and act like Hummers are the biggest hasard to the environment. But it's OK to build condos and huge houses.
What a sad state of affairs. Soon we'll all be sitting around being force fed toffu and force fed Liberal propaganda.

Probably a fence.

There may be a back way in there still. I wonder if "The Squeeze" is closed also. I thought that was part of the LB owners land. If that is closed than LB is done for sure.

Glad we got to climb it last year. It was awesome.

I'm glad we got to go up LB. Hope that somehow the new owners allow access to it, even if it is on a very limited basis.

Film it and that would be treehugger porn! :)

All of my 3-year-old son's landscape icons from are disappearing - Tim's Rock; Paragon; Lion's Back. Pretty soon, Moab will be turned into a vegetarian commune and the Colorado National Forests will ban off-roading.
