Supercrack

Location: Canyonlands National Park is located in southeastern Utah. From Moab, head south on Highway 191. Roughly 30 miles south you will pass the turnoff to Needles overlook (good place to visit). About 40 miles from Moab you will reach Highway 211. Take that west to the Needles area of the park. Along the way you will pass the Newspaper Rock petroglyphs and a climbing area that includes "Supercrack."

Notes: This area along Indian Creek is popular with climbers. There are other rock faces along that canyon that are also used. This was taken at 12:45 at the end of March. Here's a thought: "Google" supercrack and see what you get.

Be sure to check out surrounding sites such as Arches NP, Dead Horse Canyon State Parks, as well as Fisher Towers. There are many more.
