Description

An epic loop taking in the most striking feature of the North coast of Lanzarote, Los Riscos De Famara. Following the technical coastal trails from La Santa round to Famara. The route quickly steepens as you follow this fantastic ridge with stunning views. The scrambling is technical at times with a head for heights required but if you are there with little wind it has an amazing feel to it. Once on the summit, its likely you will be deep in cloud that often blankets the ridge, this will be a welcome rest bite from the heat.

East Portal Point

Description

This is the twin sister of West Portal Point.  They symmetrically frame the Portal, which is the deep and steep canyon where the Colorado River exits the broad Moab Valley.  They both have a classic steep trail right out of the parking lot, a very scenic rolling middle section, then after a full 360 circle, top out onto amazing sandstone domes.  They are about the same height, but East Portal Point has more vert due to the more complex and technical domes on top, and thus takes a tad longer even though it is slightly shorter.
