Fisher Towers

Exactly 21 miles up the Colorado River from Moab is the short road to Fisher Towers, a place of spectacular southwestern scenery and also a hub of rock-climbing activity. We hiked the Towers back to The Titan and then drove the Lasal Loop, up into the mountains and then back down to Moab, all on Monday.
Environs, Fisher Valley
















Some of the Towers, from the trailhead
















Proceeding on




















Way up there




















At least two parties on this one
















Way up there
















Posing
















Lunch break, with cup-holder
















The Titan, the big one we came to see...900 feet above the
valley





















Fixed ladder on the trail
















Towers all over




















And a last look

    So, did you climb any or just take photos?

    Last roped climbing I did was 1989, on the Matterhorn. Just solo walk-ups since. Can't even tie a bowline anymore. What a drag it is getting old.
