2007 Kokopelli Trail
  • Kokopelli is a mythical character whose image was found in ancient Native American rock carvings, paintings and murals across the Southwest. The legend of Kokopelli varies among tribes. The most widely accepted depiction of Kokopelli is a humped back flute player who brought prosperity, music and joy to the people of the land. As a fertility symbol, he carried a sack full of seeds on his back and played his flute to summon the rains to help the seeds grow. The Kokopelli Trail is a 140 mile trail between Grand Junction and Moab and was named in honor of Kokopelli. On Sept 15, there was a run on Mary’s Loop which is part of the Kokopelli Trail. Despite the trail being marked, I unknowingly went off the trail for half a mile. If it weren’t for some mountain bikers who saw “those runners going the other way”, I might have gotten lost! The trail was technical, difficult and very steep in some sections. I ran with my camera and snapped photos of the views along the trail.
