The desert is probably the most beautiful place in the world! The bouldering is spectacular too!

We took a nice trip to Joe’s Valley, in Orangeville, Utah, about 2 hours west of Moab. Joe’s Valley is pretty much in the middle of nowhere. Only climbers know of its existence, because it has such an abundance of bouldering valleys in a fantastic location (because its not overly crowded).

We spent 5 days camping and climbing in the desert. Life was simple. We ate really well at camp, had a lot of R&R, and got a good amount of hard climbing in. It was also beautiful. Nothing beats a long trip in the middle of nowhere to reset your circuits.
