Nice, but post more. So cool that you can ride to Comb Ridge from Kayenta. Takes us most of a day to get to the north end of it.

Pretty shure that we camped at the base of comb ridge for a few days and climbed right behind our campsite. also dod a small tower a ways off climbers right from the camp site. the spot we camped may have had a very well done naked lady carved into the stone. or that may have been a different site? 20 years ago.... maybe this was the naked lady campsight this is not by comb ridge...?
