Moab MUni Fest 2007 - “MUni” is short for Mountain Unicycling.
“Fest” is short for Festival, and that’s what the Moab MUni Fest is all
about. It’s a time to break the winter cabin fever and get out to the
pleasant March climes of Moab; to ride and socialize with other MUni riders
in the scenic red rock wonderland of Southern Utah. It’s a place to test and
expand your limits, hone your skills, and learn new techniques from other
riders. The entire Slickrock area is red sandstone rock, which means you’ll
have traction to climb and descend angles you never thought possible. The
landscape is a trials course. For non-trials riders it’s just as much fun
figuring out how to avoid the obstacles. In either case there’s plenty to
keep you entertained. It’s a great place to make and renew friendships
within the com-MUni-ty of riders. For more info visit:

Bighorn Sheep Festival - A chance to view desert bighorn sheep in

hosts its annual Moab Bighorn Sheep Festival. The event is free, and people
of all ages are invited to attend. Sheep watchers are encouraged to bring
binoculars or a spotting scope along with snacks, beverages and a camera.
DWR biologists will guide participants to locations where bighorns have been
recently observed. The biologists will have extra spotting scopes and
binoculars for people to use. They'll also have several large four-wheel
drive vehicles for those who don't have the type of vehicle needed to reach
the areas where the sheep are. The festival begins on Friday evening in the
Moab Information Center, located at the corner of Center and Main. DWR will
present a program on bighorn sheep ecology and their life history. The
following morning participants will gather again at the Moab Information
Center where they will split into groups and go in search of bighorn sheep.
A DWR wildlife biologist will guide each caravan of vehicles. All of the
parties will be in radio contact with each other, so everyone can be advised
as soon as sheep are spotted. Those who drive their own vehicle can leave
the group at any time. For those who ride with DWR biologists, the field
trips generally finish by noon or early afternoon. For more information call
435-636-0260. |
