TG is great, beautiful farmland and rolling hills, and far away from the crowded cities and the tourist places. I've spent a lot of time there visiting friends. But oh my, I don't know how you survive November to January with about 2 sunny days per month. I guess I am spoiled living in the Sunshine State...

From Porcupine Rim you're looking down 1300' to head of Castle Valley, and up over 5000' to the top of the La Sal range. There's no where in the east with that kind of "verticality" view. I'll admit a landscape or panorama shot from here would have been much more inclusive of the incredible change in geography and geology, with Alpine mountains in front of you and deserts, mesas, buttes and a major river canyon around to your left. Driving the La Sal mountain loop road from Moab is one incredible geographic journey.
