We also took advantage of that, and went mountainbiking for half a day. The tour led us onto the (obviously world-famous, at least among mountainbikers) &quot;slick rock&quot;. Fortunately, this rock is only really slick if you are riding a horse. So, only the sand remained a challenge (and caused quite a few bruises among our group).\n<\/div>\n  <div class=\"breit_li wp-caption alignleft single-image\">\n  <p class=\"image\">\n   <a href=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/regions\/usa\/ut\/moab\/index_13.htm\" class=\"lightbox-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img288x192\" src=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/regions\/usa\/ut\/moab\/thumb\/13.jpg\" width=\"288\" height=\"192\" alt=\"[Picture]\" title=\"Sunset Hummer Tour\" \/><\/a>\n  <\/p>\n  <p class=\"wp-caption-text\">\n   <span xml:lang=\"en\" lang=\"en\">Sunset Hummer Tour<\/span>\n  <\/p>\n  <p class=\"image\">\n   <a href=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/regions\/usa\/ut\/moab\/index_14.htm\" class=\"lightbox-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img288x192\" src=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/regions\/usa\/ut\/moab\/thumb\/14.jpg\" width=\"288\" height=\"192\" alt=\"[Picture]\" title=\"Sunset Hummer Tour\" \/><\/a>\n  <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n<div style=\"clear:right;\">\nIn the evening, we went on a Hummer tour.

This means that we could go up much steeper slopes&nbsp;&#8211; even up to 45&nbsp;degrees! If you kept remembering that the driver wanted to return home safely as well, you could actually enjoy this ride a lot.\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"center\">\n  <div class=\"panorama wp-caption single-image\">\n  <p class=\"image\">\n   <a href=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/regions\/usa\/ut\/moab\/index_12.htm\" class=\"lightbox-link\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"img288x192\" src=\"..\/..\/..\/..\/regions\/usa\/ut\/moab\/thumb\/12.jpg\" width=\"288\" height=\"192\" alt=\"[Picture]\" title=\"Sunset Hummer Tour\" \/><\/a>\n  <\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n<\/div>\n<p><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sorry, this entry is only available in Deutsch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1502,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[57],"class_list":["post-686","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-travel-diary","tag-biking","country-us"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=686"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/686\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1502"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=686"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=686"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/bernies-journeys.at\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=686"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
